THE ETERNAL AND DIVINE PURPOSE
The Eternal and Divine Purpose, that’s
what we always ask; God, what is your Divine purpose and
plan for my eternal life. In Rom. 8:28 We are assured and
know that (God being a partner in their labor)all things
work together and are (fitting into a plan)for good to and
for those who love God and are called according to (His)
design and purpose.(amplified)
There is a great and
glorious purpose in the march of the universes through
space.
All of your mortal struggling is not in
vain. Holding out (to it) and offering (to all men) the Word
of Life, so that in the day of Christ I may have something
of which exultantly to rejoice and glory in that I did not
run my race in vain or spend my labor to no purpose.
(Philippians 2: 16 amplified). We are
all apart of an immense plan, a gigantic enterprise, and it
is the vastness of the undertaking that renders it
impossible to see very much of it at any one time and during
any one life. We are all part of an eternal project which
the Gods are supervising an outworking. The whole marvelous
and universal mechanism moves on majestically through space
to the music of the meter of the infinite thought and the
eternal purpose of the First Great Source and Center.
The eternal purpose of the
eternal God is a high spiritual ideal. The events of time
and the struggles of material existence are but the
transient scaffolding which bridges over to the other side,
to the promised land of spiritual reality and supernal
existence.
Of course, we mortals find it difficult
to grasp the idea of an eternal purpose, you are virtually
unable to comprehend the thought of eternity, something
never beginning and never ending. Everything familiar to us
has an end.
As regards an individual
life, the duration of a realm, or the chronology of any
connected series of events, it would seem that we are
dealing with an isolated stretch of time; everything seems
to have a beginning and end. Lord, make me to know my end
and (to appreciate) the measure of my days__ what it is; let
me know and realize how frail I am (how transient is my stay
here) Psalms 39:4 amplified. And it would appear that a
series of such experiences, lives, ages, or epochs when
successively arranged, constitutes a straightaway drive, an
isolated event of time flashing momentarily across the
infinite face of eternity. But when we look at all this from
behind the scenes, a more comprehensive view and a more
complete understanding suggest that such an explanation is
inadequate, disconnected, and wholly unsuited properly to
account for, and otherwise to correlate, the transactions of
time with the underlying purposes and basic reactions of
eternity.
To me it seems more fitting,
for purposes of explanation to the mortal mind, to conceive
of eternity as a cycle and the eternal as an endless circle,
a cycle of eternity in some way synchronized with the
transient material cycles of time. (The purpose is) that
through the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its
infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made
known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities
and powers) in the heavenly sphere. This is in accordance
with the terms of the eternal and timeless purpose which He
realized and carried into effect in (the person of) Christ
Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 3:10, 11.amplified.
As regards the sectors of time
connected with, and forming a part of, the cycle of
eternity, we are forced to recognize that such temporary
epochs are born, live, and die just as the temporary beings
of time are born, live, and die. Most human beings die
because, having failed to achieve the spirit level of
Adjuster fusion, the metamorphosis of death constitutes the
only possible procedure whereby they may escape the fetters
of time and bonds of material creation, thereby being
enabled to strike spiritual step with the progressive
procession of eternity. Having survived the trial life of
time and material existence it becomes possible for you to
continue on in touch with, even as a part of, eternity,
swinging on forever with the worlds of space around the
circle of the eternal ages.
The sectors of time are like the
flashes of personality in temporal form; they appear for a
season, and then they are lost to human sight, only to
reappear as new actors and continuing factors in the higher
life of the endless swing around the eternal circle.
Eternity can hardly be conceived as a
straightaway drive, in view of our belief in a delimited
universe moving over a vast, elongated circle around the
central dwelling place of the Universal Father.
Frankly, eternity is
incomprehensible to the finite mind of time. You simply
cannot grasp it; you cannot comprehend it. I do not
completely visualize it, and even if I did, it would be
impossible for me to convey my concept to the human mind.
Nevertheless, I have done my best to portray something of
our viewpoint, to tell you somewhat of our understanding of
things eternal. I am endeavoring to aid you in the
crystallization of your thoughts about these values which
are of infinite nature and eternal import.
There is in the mind of God a
plan which embraces every creature of all his vast domains,
and this plan is an eternal purpose of boundless
opportunity, unlimited progress, and endless life. And the
infinite treasures of such a matchless career are yours for
the striving! Making known to us the mystery (secret) of His
will (of His plan, of His purpose.) (And it is this:) In
accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention)
which He had previously purposed and
set forth in Him, (He planned) for the maturity of times and
the climax of the ages to unify all things and head them up
and consummate them in Christ, (both) things in heaven and
things on earth. Ephesians 1:9, 10 (amplified)
The goal of eternity is ahead!
The adventure of divinity attainment lies before you!
The race for perfection is on!
whosoever will may enter, and certain victory will crown the
efforts of every human being who will run the race of faith
and trust, depending every step of the way on the leading of
the indwelling Adjuster and on the guidance of that good
spirit of the Universe Son, which has been freely poured out
upon all flesh. Now that I have now attained (this ideal),or
have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold
(grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the
Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own.
I do consider, brethren, that I have
captured and made it my own(yet); but one thing I do (it is
my one aspiration): forgetting what lies behind and
straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the
goal to win the (supreme and heavenly) prize to which God in
Christ Jesus is calling us upward.(Philippians 3:12, 13,
14.)amplified.
