Psalm 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
When we consider our own helpless state as a believer no doubt we ponder its inception with the fall of Adam and Eve. WE all start (with the exception of course of the aforementioned first two people on earth) with an initial point of self perception where the world progresses from our own world to that of interactions with others with various levels of trauma up until the point where we encounter the living God and enter into a rebirth not of this world. As Christians hopefully we will get to some understanding as to the true meaning of our lives and the interactions with others related to good works He has prepared ahead of time for us to accomplish. Ephesians 2:10 states: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
In all of this; we should be cognizant of the fact that the original rebellion was with Lucifer long ago ( Isaiah 14; Ezekiel 28); and this whole world system is just a reflection of the kingdom Satan and his minions have temporarily hijacked so that God's purposes can be fulfilled. We are as chess pieces on the chessboard; God does the moving of the pieces and Satan is the king who eventually after knocking out his competition will himself be "taken out of the game" so to speak when the time comes.
I have compared life to a stage play as well as with this analogy. For the Creator to interact with His creation and actually live and die as one of us to procure our redemption was; of course the game changer; or put the final checkmate on the enemy of our souls; as well as ending our condemnation as pawns moved about on the board. Our part should be to move when and where He tells us to.
