God’s Main Purpose

God’s main purpose is to repair creation, to repair what we had ruined due to our sin.

God’s main purpose is to make all things new, that is, to restore humanity and everything back to the way He intended when He created it. But we messed it up because we thought we knew what’s best, and isn’t this the key to Satan’s temptation, to be like God?

And this whole “repair creation” is a good thing, that is, until we realize just how much we’ve invested into the old broken down and decayed creation, that is, the way things are instead of the way God intends them to be.

That’s why Herod and all the religious leaders shook when they heard that the Messiah had been born. If the baby were the king, then Herod and the religious leaders would lose their prestige and positions of power.

It was through Jesus that God was repairing His creation, and the power brokers, the brokers of the status quo, and the religious leaders shake with fear and anticipation.

You see if that newborn baby were God’s intention for humanity, then we would have to let go of everything we’ve been holding onto, those things that are precious to us.

God was engaging the world to repair His creation through a baby born in a manger that grows up to hang on the cross for the sins of the world.

All sin is an attack on creation. God’s will is to address human sin by mending the damage we’ve done to ourselves and to His creation through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Look at all the destruction human beings have wreaked upon each other, and this is nothing less than attacks upon creation and upon the image God made humanity in.

The last time such abuse was perpetrated upon humanity God sent a flood and stared all over.

And so, whatever we wish God would do, remember that God’s will is to repair creation.
