- God has a purpose with humans

It may sometimes feel as though events in the earth are random and that God has no objective for humanity. Yet the Bible says otherwise and records this reason for the creation:

For thus says the LORD who created the heavens, who is God, who formed the earth and made it, who has established it, who did not create it in vain, who formed it to be inhabited... 

(Isaiah 45 v 18)

God’s objective in creation was for the world to be inhabited. But He wants it to be filled with people who do no wrong. In the New Testament letter to the Hebrews, many faithful men and women are listed who tried to live godly lives. The passage concludes in this way:

But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

(Hebrews 11 v 16)

Here, the future God has planned for them is described as a “heavenly country” and a new “city”, i.e. one where behaviour and attitudes follow a heavenly way of thinking. The establishment of this state on earth is described in the final book of the Bible. We’re told that, after Jesus returns and removes all wrongdoing, God will dwell on earth among those who have dedicated their lives to following Jesus – that is His desire for humanity.

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’ Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’...

(Revelation 21 v 3-5)

The current way of life will therefore be permanently changed in the future.

Everyone is invited to be part of that new earth but we need to associate ourselves with Jesus now in preparation. God wants everyone to respond:

...God...desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 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.

(1 Timothy 2 v 3-6)

The invitation to be part of this future new world order is being held out to you.
