Personality and the W’s

John 14:6; Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. Exodus 35:31; He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills.

Applying for a job involves being interviewed before being hired for the job. Most interviewers are interested in who a candidate is, since the curriculum vitae already tells them what the candidate is. Most unsuccessful applicants are not able to answer the question “Who are you?”, instead they give the answer detailing what they are, to the question of who they are. And when a person does not know who they are, others will tell them who they want them to be or should be.

The Scripture text of Exodus quoted above, is about what a person is, and it is God that endows a person with skill sets required to perform any kind of work. While the text in the book of John quoted above tells us that it is also God that is the source of life.

All human beings are vessels, tools, ‘what’, inanimate objects created by God. Jesus Christ then breathes life into the vessels, that then assumes personalities or personas or life forces or ‘who’. Any tool without life is simply a thing, inanimate or dead. Other tools can and do subsequently project whatever image they want, which is less than they themselves unto those who are not rooted in Christ.

There is no life outside of Jesus Christ. Who am I? I am a child of Yeshua. I try to live like Him. You want to know my personality, then I suggest you read your Bible to find out about His personality, that is my personality blueprint. Do not bother to compare yourself to me. It is futile if you are trying to proof that you are better than me or worse than me, or more intelligent, or less intelligent than me, more or less artistic than me, or whether you are a better Lawyer than me, or a better doctor, engineer or whatever skillset based professional than me. I am who Christ says I am. The what can change over time, but the who does not change.
