Friends,
The Lord does nothing in vain. Everything He does has a purpose.
So why, then, did He raise us up to eternal life?
Why bestow such an incomprehensible gift on creatures who have betrayed and disobeyed Him?
The answers, brothers and sisters, is found here:
... and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
-- Ephesians 2:6-7 (emphasis added), NKJV
The simplistic answer is that Almighty God has done a wondrous work. He wants all of creation to know it.
You and I are His prized possession ... His trophy. He chose us and wants there to be no mistake about it. And He wants all to know that this gift's value is beyond measure.
Be encouraged, Jose
