Have you ever wondered what God was doing before Adam and Eve? Does it matter? We can understand what part of what God was doing in eternity past by observing what He is doing now.

Of course we cannot know ALL that God is doing or did know, but we can get a very good idea by looking at what He is doing. (Romans 1:19-21) We can understand what He is doing now by the things He did in the past. The atheist and the passive non-believer are therefore without excuse.

Before the universe was created, what else did God create? Many things unimaginable I’m sure. What has been God’s overall purpose from eternity past? And why did He have it? What has been His secret purpose and desire down through eternity? Perhaps we can gain an insight by considering that which we know now.

God through Jesus Christ is preparing to bring forth an almost unimaginable number of children into His family.

Among them could be you and me.

He has all things that He CAN do. He can do anything that a Holy, perfect, all-powerful being can do. Above all that God the Father has done or could do forever and ever is and has been to have children. He is reproducing Himself, not as baby “Gods”, but children by adoption to whom He can grant eternal life.

All of history since Adam was created - and before - this has been His eternal purpose that He has and has always possessed. There can be only one reason. God IS LOVE and love always gives and shares.

"God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them." - Genesis 1:26-27

Being perfect in love, He must create not only creatures out of perfect love but, being perfect and complete, He must also recreate that which would be the ultimate, the pinnacle of all of His creations.

Himself.

He planned to do this by creating a model from dirt, breathing life into it, and this became a new creation in His image. Then began a long period of moulding and changing. This began the last phase of what God originally planned to do regarding creating something in His likeness, that He could trust with living even as He could live. A living soul that could eventually live forever, even as He had lived forever past. The God of eternity is incomprehensible, even by those who will be like Him, in His “likeness”.

Will you allow Him to recreate Himself in you, so that you may live as does, in glory with built-in eternal life? Do you want live forever, in a splendor and joy unimaginable? If you do, He is inviting you to believe, and to trust and believe in His Son through whom you can live forever. What God began long ago, He is still doing. Is He is inviting you?

Will you allow Him through Jesus Christ to make you a member of His eternal family?

“...What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]. Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny].- 1 Corinthians 2:9-10
