Every Monday on Bible Rebel we’ll be exploring some of the topics and ideas from my book, Your Life And What Comes After: Plugging Into God’s Forever Plan Now, in more depth and detail.
What is God’s grand plan? Well, let’s let the Word of God speak for itself:
Genesis 1:27–28
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
First, we are the only creatures that carry the image of God. We are to be like Him, and we are to reflect who He is to the creation, which then glorifies our Creator.
Second, we are to be fruitful and multiply, caring for and adding value to His creation, and filling it with more and more of His image-bearers so that God is glorified more and more.
Third, God created man not only to reflect His image and add value to His creation, but also to have a relationship with Him. We are to be companions of and have fellowship with the Creator of the universe.
That was God’s original intention. Then it all went wrong because of man’s disobedience and refusal to submit to the clear and loving will of his Creator.
Next week we’ll ask, “So what?”
