There is a reference about us that always is constant and true. This reference does not calculate, factor in and reason conditions, effects or defects. While your particular GPS position varies with wherever you are, it is yet a constant at any position, a true reference a unique standard making your position known. Just like our GPS position is constant at any given time, yet unique, it is a constant reference that is not influenced by the sun, rain, wind, snow.
No conditions can add or subtract to this reference. Your GPS unit might be confused, do not pick up your true reference. It might become distorted, distracted along the way by some defect, yet your position remains a constant at any particular time. Sometimes to get a better perspective and context to your position we would use a GPS companion, a map. This map is also handy for those times our GPS unit is distracted, distorted or it contradicts your original position. We might also use a GPS manual to reset or reboot the original unit. What a beautiful thought to know that we have yet another, yet more constant, more accurate reference to our lives other than latitudes and longitudes.
The reference of Christ in man is an unshakable, uninterruptible reference to our position - it never varies. The Bible has for most of time been portrayed incorrectly in terms of its original and PRIMARY purpose. It is not a book to negotiate through life according to a disciplined standard. Do we use our GPS companion maps or the GPS manual to learn HOW to drive?...or to know the rules of the road? ....maybe only for direction, but the PRIMARY purpose is to get a perspective and context on your true position. In respect to your GPS position on the GPS unit it normally displays at least the essence of your position, longitude & latitude...some units give more information when you are driving, ie speed, ETA, distance covered, etc.
The Bible becomes such a beautiful reference when read in context of the essence of Christ in man. Whatever is true about Christ is true about man. The fullness of what time and space can ever and has ever tried to communicate about our life has found it's true constant reference, the blueprint of our original design, in Christ.

Genesis
12:1 ~ Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.
The Lord said: "To a land that I will show you" of which, in our desperation, that land is in Christ!
