What is right? Do things change? What is the nature of a person?
I don't know if you're wondering about those things, but I am.
What is right? What is God really like, as a Person? Is "right" going to mean the same thing for us as created beings as it does for God, or is the Creator-Creature relationship going to remain the predominant one? In other words, for God it is right to glorifty Himself, to make a world (or more than one) with creatures oriented towards Himself. Are we to aspire to the same kinds of things, or would that be blasphemy? Does "right" for creatures fundamentally differ from "right" for the Creator? Practically, it is right for us to worship and right for God to be worshipped. Is that the end? Or does "being created in the image of God," "becoming like Christ" who was the "firstborn among many" mean something more, and if so, what? What is worship, anyway? Is it allegiance, as a steward to the King? We have indeed been called Stewards by the Scripture, but we have also been called "friends." Is worship simply acknowledging the awesome Personhood of God?
