Genesis 1:26,28,31 (Amplified) tells us, "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 the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth."
Verse 28 goes on, "God Blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, using all its vast resources in the service of God and man; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth."
This was and is, God's Original Intent for the man He created. We've been somehow sold the idea that God always intended for mankind to fail, become separated from Him, and live in the realm of sickness, death, misery, and heartache, for all the days of his life. Verse 31 says, "And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant), and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day."
Genesis 2:2 (Amplified) says, "And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." God only rested, after His work was completed and He had finished His Original Intent for mankind. Genesis 3:6 (Amplified) tells us about what happened after Adam's transgression, where God set in place the Plan of Redemption through Jesus, to restore man back to His Original Plan and Intent for His family.
God's Plan or Intent for man, has never once changed or varied from these scriptures. Some believe that God always planned for Adam to fail, in order to show His Love and mercy to a fallen, helpless mankind. Mankind was created helpless or fallen, but God had given him complete authority and dominion over everything in the earth, according to the above scriptures. God had Blessed man and gave His authority and dominion over to man, to use.
The Father's Love was so great, that even after Adam's fall, He was determined to never lose the precious family He had created. God's Love was so great, that it would take the surrender of Jesus over to death, in order to restore Life again to His family. Mankind was estranged and separated from God, Who is Life and was trapped into the enemy's hands, which brought sickness, death, evil and calamity. These things ruled over the man, God created to rule His earth. The Blessing God had Blessed man with, now would be traced down from one to another, until it came to rest on and in, God's Only Son again.
No loving Father would deliberately bring children into this world, just to see them suffer and die, especially One Who is Love Himself. It was God's great heart of Love that moved Him to create a family at the beginning. This Love wouldn't give into final separation from His Own children. God's planned Redemption had to be according to Heaven's rule of justice and Truth. God couldn't violate His Own Laws of Truth and still remain Just.
The very moment Adam fell, our Heavenly Father set the Plan of Redemption into place, in order to bring Life and total Redemption to mankind again. God would see His family back in His House, as thought the transgression never occurred. Being true to His nature of creation, God began speaking His Plan into the earth. From Genesis 3:15 to John 1:14, God spoke Jesus into the earth, just like He spoke Light into the darkness. God spoke Jesus into this world and little by little, God formed Jesus by His Word, until He was Perfect and Legal, by Heaven's standards of justice.
John 1:14 (Amplified) says, "And the Word (Christ), became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled, fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile among us; and we actually saw His Glory, His Honor, His Majesty, such Glory as an Only Begotten Son receives from His Father, full of Grace, favor, loving kindness, and Truth." God carefully outlined Jesus, Word by Word, from "His heel bruising satan's head," in Genesis 3:16, until finally, "The Word became flesh," in John 1:14. until Jesus was complete in every way, as God's Redeemer and Savior to mankind.
God spoke the place where Jesus would be born, to the woman who He'd been born from. God spoke the place where Jesus would suffer and die and the place He would rise again into Glory. Not one of God's Word would fail or become void. Isaiah 53 tells us that, "By Jesus' stripes we would be healed." Hebrews 1:1-2 Amplified) says, "In many separate Revelations, each of which set forth a portion of the Truth, and in different ways GOD SPOKE of old to our forefathers in and by the prophets But in the Last of these days, He has spoken to us in the Person of a Son, Whom He appointed Heir and Lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time, He made, produced, built, operated and arranged them in order. The Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled, fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile among us."
The Father formed Jesus, Word by Word, until He had completed Jesus and Jesus became flesh. God didn't leave anything out when He spoke Jesus into this earth, that would completely return His family back to His Original Intent of perfect fellowship with Himself. In Jesus, the Living Word, is our Life, Blessing, Righteousness and family relationship with our Heavenly Father. In Jesus, is everything that the Father's heart held, when He brought forth His family in the beginning. 2Corinthians 5:17 (Amplified) says, "Therefore if any person is ingrated in Christ (the Messiah), he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come."
We've somehow missed Our Heavenly Father's Original Intent for man, because of man's ideas and theories. Love doesn't purposely bring children into existence, only to see them suffer and die in misery. We should rejoice in what God has done to reclaim His Own family and then, trust in His Word, Jesus, Who is the Door which leads us back to the Father's House, which He ordained from the beginning. You are not an "after thought," but you're His Original Intent, when He created all things at the beginning. You were always the reason for His creation. God created everything for His children to enjoy and without them, there would be no reason for creation.
