The restoration of God's plan for sinful man is God's great purpose for each of us. If we fail to make use of God's provision for this, then we choose to exclude ourselves from participating in it forever.
Romans 8:29, tells us that Jesus came to restore man to God's original purpose that is stated in Genesis 1:26 - 28, but restoration has been thwarted in the majority of mankind from Genesis 3 until now. The purpose of God is to restore man to image of Christ. This is the ultimate predestined purpose of the birth , life, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The coming of the Holy Spirit is to put into effect, in the lives of Christians, the benefits of the finished work of Christ that He accomplished for them. The Holy Spirit Helps Christians to duplicate on earth the priestly and kingly ministries that Christ has been executing at the Father's right hand in heaven. This will continue until the second coming of Christ to established on earth His everlasting kingdom.
LET GOD CONTINUE TO RESTORE THE IMAGE OF CHRIST IN YOU!!
