The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 6: Limited Wills: God's Dream

God’s Dream

                Therefore, we can finally conclude the motive of creation.  God has planned to love all of His creation and live with them in peace and harmony forever.  He wanted to create all things and He wanted to live with all things in peace and harmony because that would bring the most efficient way of living.  It would bring pleasure and happiness to all beings.  It would bring peace and love and purpose and meaning to all beings.  His desire has always been and always will be to enjoy His creation, the entire Kingdom of God from “The Third Heaven” to Earth, “The First Heaven”. 

                But in order to create everything so perfectly, God had to create all of these beings with free wills.  He wanted them to love Him, not because they had to, but because they WANTED to.  He created them with the ability to choose to be good or evil for this very purpose.  If He had not wanted them to choose to love Him, He would have given them enslaved wills.  In other words, we’d all be like robots, forced to love God, if He had simply wanted to create beings that HAD to love Him.

                So we can know, then, that by giving us free wills God’s ultimate goal was to have us choose to be good and to love Him.  Therefore, His end game, His ultimate motive, is that He loves us and wants US to love HIM.  In order to make that happen, He had to first give us a choice.  Then, knowing we would sin, He had to let us reject Him and suffer for it.

                However, since we know that God is perfect and all knowing, knowing the ending before the beginning, we can know that God planned for us to fail and reject Him.  Therefore, He must have planned, from before creation began, to redeem humanity; to give us a way to return to Him and love Him.  Since He made us to love Him, and since we rejected that love, He must have prepared for this and set up a way, in the vastness of His planning, for us to come back to Him and accept His love once more.  After all, what good would it have done to create us to love Him only to have us eternally reject Him?  That would be a like a man who purposely marries a woman that he knows will never truly love him and will constantly cheat on him.  Who would really do that?

                So God must have set up a way for all humanity to be able to accept God again and to love Him.  In this way, if a human accepted God again and loved Him, God would forgive their sins and their rejections and He would make it so that they could live with Him forever in paradise, as He had always planned it.

                And so, His dream must have been, and is, that God dreams of the time when those that love God will live with Him forever in peace and harmony in paradise in joy and happiness with pleasure and wonders beyond measure.  His ultimate goal, the reason He patiently waits and watches as humans suffer is so that He can get to that day when He will bring all evil to an end.  On that day, evil will be swept away and good will live in peace and harmony with Him forever, just as He always planned.  He will know that His creation loves Him, for they will have chosen Him.
