The Father has been on a six-thousand year

history channel documentary God arranged, He composed, He outlined, He toiled, and finally, in the totality of time, He delivered His finest work: His family. He had officially arranged for them a home, a spot where they could develop and flourish, be productive and increase, love the Father and each other. He set them down in their new home, and started to sustain and teach them, pleasing Himself in association with them. And after that catastrophe struck.

Through a blend of dishonesty, double dealing and enticement, God's family was baited away and taken prisoner. In a minute of time, everything was lost.

Did you get that? In a minute of time. God, obviously, lives outside of what we call time. This sad story has a cheerful consummation, where God's family, that is, "whosoever will", are returned sheltered and sound, to Him, and the culprit and his adherents are taken to their simply remunerate. Yet, for us, we're still in that dull time before the glad closure. Be that as it may, the inquiry continues as before, thus does the answer. What might God provide for recover His family? He would give it all.

The Father has been on a six-thousand year (in this way) inquiry and-salvage mission. The account of the Bible, from the fourth section of Genesis forward, is the tale of God's endeavors to win back His family. Presently, in light of the fact that Adam's transgression was a resolved demonstration of rebellion, our arrival to the Father requires a demonstration of our will. God can't spare us without wanting to. (That is the thing that isolates the great folks from the terrible folks: the folks in the white caps need to play by the guidelines.) But here we are, six thousand years after the fact, the relatives of two individuals who conversed with outsiders against all parental exhortation, small knowing or minding that we have a place with God's own particular family. We have changed in accordance with life on fallen planet Earth. We catch wind of a God who adores us and gave His just for us, and we put it on the rack with the other tall tales.
