HEBREWS 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
You must know God's plan and purpose if you want to know about life and the Bible.
Because God desires a family, we are here.
Life is all about this, after all. The simplest way to explain and summarize what's happening is to say that God is developing a family. God has given everything required for our absolute victory and maturity, even though it is taking place in a world where people have the freedom to choose and are tempted to do bad.
2 CORINTHIANS 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
This existence on planet is only the first grade of our education because we are preparing for immortality.
MATTHEW 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Jesus made it clear that the proper way for us to view God is as a father. Not as our judge or our employer, but as a loving Father who is molding us into the image of Jesus so that we may have eternal relationship with Him.
ROMANS 8:28-29 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
1 JOHN 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
God is molding his family and getting us ready to be healthy Divine partners for all of immortality. God is creating a household that He will want to spend time with rather than just withstand.
We must prioritize our spiritual development in the context of immortality. How do we spot mental development? By exhibiting the spiritual fruit, which corresponds to growing in likeness to Jesus Christ.
EPHESIANS 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
GALATIANS 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
God's purpose for you in this existence is to grow in your likeness to Jesus and to know God's plans.
SAY THIS: I'm happy to be a member of the everlasting family that my Father God is creating.
