GOD’S ETERNAL PURPOSE

(Romans 8:29) 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. 

We ought to know the purpose of God in creating us and in redeeming us. 

In creating us; He created Adam and Eve 

The bible says Adam was a Son of God. God created him in his image and likeness. Eve was formed out of man so was not in the original creation. Eve was in the transgression. 

(1 Timothy 2:14) And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 

Adam stood in for Eve his wife and was identified with Eve’s sin. 

In redeeming us; He manifested the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:29) 

He wishes for us to manifest the life of His Son and share in His Son’s glory 

Even before the foundation of the world, God had purposed one which is to say, that he wants to make many Sons just as He has the only begotten Son.  

 The Eternal purpose of God was to purchase and redeem us that he may possess us through his begotten Son Jesus Christ from Adam’s race 

Through Adam, God’s original purpose was marred as Satan attempted to corrupt the human race that the Messiah could not come to redeem mankind. 

As can be seen in (Genesis 6:4) For God’s purpose to stand according to election before the foundation of the world he started manifesting the Sons of God from the beginning.  

(Genesis 6:8) Noah found grace in God; a godly line was preserved. Forasmuch as the sin factor had to do with blood, Evil lingered on after the flood even until now. 

Some hold that, the sons of God were fallen angels which kept not their first estate (Jude 6-7) cp (2 Peter 2:4-9)  

But according to (Mathew 22:30) angels are sexless. They cannot take wives. Now the expression they” took wives” could signify a lasting marriage. This cannot be so of angels being spirits sent forth of God as ministering Spirits. (Hebrew 1:14) 

The reference has to do with the breakdown of the separation of the godly line of Seth intermarriage with the godless line of Cain 

Also, before the consummation of the times he is manifesting many sons and daughters of God by the Word which is the incorruptible seed, (2 Peter 1:23-25) the Lord Jesus Christ in print form, as a mystical body and bride of Christ. 

Noah found grace so are we through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

SHALOM!
