I saw a new heaven and a new earth… and

there shall be no more death, neither sorrow

nor crying, neither shall there be any more

pain…Behold, I make all things new… there

shall be no more curse: but the throne of

God and the lamb shall be in it… And there

shall be no night there…and they [the saints]

shall reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 21-22

Unto the angels hath [God] not put in subjection the

world to come…Thou madest [man] a little lower

than the angels, crowned him with glory and honor,

and didst set him over the works of thy hands.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1: 1

Why? Because God is a creator; and he created all things for his

pleasure. Revelation 4: 11

He created the earth to be inhabited. Isaiah 45: 18

He created man in his image to rule over the earth.

Genesis 1: 26

Man, the visible image of the invisible God.

Attributes: love, anger, mercy, forgiveness, etc.

Tri-partite being,

The soul under the control of the Spirit, and

the body under the direction of the Spirit filled

soul, man is the image of God.

Genesis 1:1; “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

“…He hath established it, He created it not in vain,

He formed it to be inhabited. Isaiah 45:18

Isaiah 45:12 “I have made the earth, and created

man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out

the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.”

Genesis 1:26 And God said, “Let us make man in our

image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion

over the fish of the sea, and over the foul of the air, and

over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every

creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in

the image of God created he him; male and female created

he them.

Hebrews 1:14

Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister

Adam’s commission was to multiply;

therefore God made them male and female.

The chief of those angels was Lucifer. Ezekiel 28: 12-15

“Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty…” “The anointed cherub…”

“Perfect in thy ways…till iniquity was found in thee…I will cast thee

as profane out of the mountain of God…”

“Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy

wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground…”

What was the nature of his iniquity? Isaiah 14: 12-14

“I will ascend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of

God; I will sit upon the mount…; I will ascend above the heights of

the clouds; I will be like the most high.”

Here is what Jesus later told his disciples:

“I beheld Satan as lightening fall from heaven.” Luke 10: 18

With free will comes the potential to sin and die.

Without free will there is no possibility to love or to obey.

At this point in history, man was perfect, without sin; he was over the

works of God’s hands, and the image of God’s person.

Satan was in the earth, as a created being, subject to Adam’s authority.

And now the test Genesis 3: 1-5

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which God

had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said ye shall not

eat of every tree of the Garden?

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees

of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,

God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth

know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye

shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the

day that God created man, in the likeness of God

made he him; male and female created he them;

and blessed them and called their name Adam in

the day when they were created. Genesis 5: 1, 2

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be

fruitful and multiply and replenish [fill] the earth, and

subdue it and have dominion over…every living thing

that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1: 28

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord

God had made. And he said unto the woman, “ ye shall

not eat of every tree of the garden?”

And the woman said unto the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of

the garden: but the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God

hath said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it lest ye die.”

And the serpent said unto the woman, “ : for God

doth know in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened and ye

shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was

pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she

took of the fruit thereof and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with

her; and he did eat.

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they

were naked.

Now, everything that the man does is sin

because it no longer represents the will

Man’s purpose was, and is, to prove (de-

monstrate) the will of God, and thereby

be the image of the invisible God.

Isaiah 64: 6

God made a covenant with Israel. We call it the Old Testament

It is recorded in Exodus Chapters 19 through 24.

They could never be made righteous by keeping it because they couldn’t.

Why, then, was it given? What purpose did it serve? Galatians 3: 19

Galatians 3:21 for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily

righteousness should have been by the law.

Hebrews 7:18, 19 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going

before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did;

It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to

whom the promise was made.

Now we know that what things so ever the law saith, it saith to them that are

under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may

become guilty before God Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no

flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

“If ye will obey my voice and keep my covenant,

then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above

all people: for all the earth is mine: and ye shall be

unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation”

The people agreed Exodus 19:8

They wanted to hear what God said, but they

didn’t want to hear him say it. Exodus 20:19

God gave the law to Moses, and he gave it to the people and

again they agreed.

The Old Testament was crafted; a two-sided covenant

Sealed with the blood of bulls. Exodus 24: 3-8

All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord hath

spoken we will do.”

And they said unto Moses, “Speak thou with us, and we will hear:

but let not God speak with us lest we die.”

Page 19: God’s Eternal Purpose God’s Eternal... · 2017. 7. 21. · Without free will there is no possibility to love or to obey. At this point in history, man was perfect, without sin;

And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the

judgments: and all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the

words which the Lord hath said will we do.”

And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning,

and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars according to the twelve

tribes of Israel.

And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings,

and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the Lord. And Moses took half of

the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people:

and they said, “ and be obedient.”

And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold the

blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these

words.”

“These Words” include the Ten Commandments and all that follow in

Exodus chapters 20 through 23.

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being

witnessed by the law and the prophets; Romans 3:21

Jesus told the Pharisees, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have

eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to

me, that ye may have life.” John 5: 39, 40

That was the Old Testament (covenant). It was a two-sided contract

that could not save. “Because they continued not in my covenant,

and I regarded them not,” saith the Lord. Hebrews 8: 9

Finding fault with them he saith, “Behold the days come…when I will

make a new covenant with [them]. Hebrews 8: 8

There is a disannulling of the [Old covenant] for the weakness and

unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the

bringing in of a better hope did. Hebrews 7: 18, 19

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh,

God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,

condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might

be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

saith, “Sacrifice and offering thou

prepared me.” Hebrews 10:5He took not on him the nature of angels;

but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

Wherein in all things it behoved him to be

made like unto his brethren, that he might

be a merciful and faithful high priest in

things pertaining to God, to make

reconciliation for the sins of the people. For

in that he himself hath suffered being

tempted, he is able to succor them that

are tempted. Hebrews 2: 16-18

Jesus Christ, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery

to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and

took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the

likeness of men:

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and

men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom

for all, to be testified in due time.

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the

unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in

the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: by which he went and

preached unto the spirits in prison.

Christ’s soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see

corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all

are witnesses.

The gospel…Christ died for our sins according

to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and

that he rose again the third day according to

the scriptures.

and being found in fashion as a man, he

humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the

death of the cross.

We were dead in sin…we walked

according to the course of this world.

By grace we are saved, and seated

in heavenly places in Christ.

There are temptations, but none that

are beyond our ability, through Christ,

to overcome.

If perchance we fail, there is an immed-

iate remedy: we have forgiveness of

sins.

We are still in this world, but, in

Christ, we are no longer of it.

John 17: 16

ALIVE

We were born into this

world as sons of Adam.

But we were born again

of the Spirit into the

kingdom of God as sons

of God

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.

Romans 7:15-25

Romans 8:1-11

For that which I do I allow not; for

what I would, that do I not; but

what I hate, that do I. If then I do

that which I would not, I consent

unto the law that it is good. Now

then it is no more I that do it, but

sin that dwelleth in me….I find

then a law, that, when I would do

good, evil is present with me….O

wretched man that I am! Who

shall deliver me from the body of

this death?

There is therefore now no condemnation to them

which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the

flesh but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit

of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from

the law of sin and death. For what the law could

not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God

sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,

and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh that the

righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who

walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.… And if

Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;

but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But

if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the

dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the

dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by

his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare

man’s work of what sort it is.

If any man’s work abide, which he has built thereupon, he shall

He spoke a parable because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought

that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. He said, therefore.

A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to

return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto

them, Occupy till I come.

And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then

he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the

money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

Then came the first saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said

unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little,

have thou authority over ten cities

And the second came saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. And he said

likewise unto him, Be thou also over five cities.

And another came saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound which I have kept laid up

in a napkin. And he said unto him,… thou wicked servant…. Wherefore then gavest

thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own

with usury?

Take from him the pound and give it unto him that hath ten pounds. For I say unto

you, That unto everyone that hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even

that he hath shall be taken away from him.

But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this

man to reign over us.

which are alive and remain

unto the coming of the Lord

shall not prevent them

which are asleep. For the

Lord himself shall descend

from heaven with a shout,

with the voice of the

archangel, and with the

trump of God: and the dead

in Christ shall rise first: then

we which are alive and

remain shall be caught up

together with them in the

clouds to meet the Lord in

And the sea gave up the dead which

were in it; and death and hell

delivered up the dead which were in

And death and hell were cast into
