Your Life And What Comes After: Looking Deeper

We have a function to perform and a part to play, each one of us individually and all of us together as God’s people, in God’s grand plan.

God’s Desire

God’s desire is to dwell together with his children forever in His perfect creation.

Our job in that relationship is to love and glorify our Heavenly Father and to take care of and add value to the creation He has given us.

The original creation and state of mankind was in perfect harmony and fellowship with the Creator and all was well with the universe.

The Rebellion

Then disobedience, rebellion, and sin cut mankind (Adam and Eve) off from their relationship with God.

Adam and Eve hid from God in shame. God’s perfect garden of delight was ruined, brought forth thorns and weeds, and was no longer the joyous place for Adam and Eve to tend and enjoy.

So Along Came Jesus

Then, after the fall and ruin, the whole purpose and plan of God is to restore that original relationship with His people and redeem the creation from the wreck of death and decay brought about by the rebellion.

The way He has done and is doing that is through His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, who through love and obedience has made it possible for us to once again live God’s original purpose.

We’ll continue to look into what all of that means and what it looks like in real life next week.
