Jesus is perfect and has no ego. The natural man has a personality to live for self and a dark inner nature.
The human being created by God cannot see the totality of his personality. He can see glimpses of his creation but most is hidden from his eyes. There is a deep part of his inner creation that is unscrupulous and desires to pursue darkness.
As human beings we lack the ability to evaluate ourselves. God sees everything about your personality and knows you better than you know yourself.
It is impossible to live in oneness with Jesus until your genetic dispositions are aligned with God. This can only happen to the believer who is genuinely seeking the will of God and submitting to the Holy Spirit. You can never make yourself like Jesus but He can transform you into His character.
Personality is the characteristic of the spiritual man and individuality is the characteristic of the natural man. Source: Oswald Chambers
Your individuality is broken when you relinquish control of your life to Jesus. Jesus begins to refine you with His values and you learn to live in oneness with Him.
The change into a new creature is a long process and painful at times. If we could just understand God wants to give us all the things we desire in a way that will not bring evil or destruction upon us.
When you look at yourself thank God for the awesome person He is creating in His likeness!
