THE FINAL PURPOSE
"The final purpose!"
What is this all about?
"God has blessed us in the heavenly realms
with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world
to be holy and blameless in His sight.
In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons
through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--
to the praise of His glorious grace,
which He has freely given us in the One He loves......
And He made known to us the mystery of His will
according to His good pleasure,
which He purposed in Christ,...
according to the plan of Him
who works out everything in conformity
with the purpose of His will....
Ephesians 1.3-14
You were taught...
to put off your old self,
which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
to be made new in the attitude of your minds;
and to put on the new self,
created to be like God
in true righteousness and holiness.
Eph. 4.22-24
The purpose, the final end
for which we have been created,
redeemed, saved, and delivered
is
to live in the Eternal Kingdom of God
with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
in perfect Righteousness
from perfect Holiness...
forever and ever.
God uses everything in our lives
to further and complete this purpose.
"We know that in all things God works
for the good of those who love Him,
who have been called according to His purpose.
For those God foreknew
He also predestined to be
conformed to the likeness of His Son,
that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.
And those He predestined, He also called;
those He called, He also justifiied;
those He justified,
He also glorified.
Romans 8. 28-30
