Common understanding assumes that God created a perfect universe, where His creatures could live in peace and harmony with Himself. Due to unforeseen circumstances, a creature appeared - from nowhere - and brought sin. To contain this situation, God had to make contingency plans, but they seem not to have worked.
An accurate translation of the Bible will reveal that God Who planned the end, also planned the beginning, and purposed to reconcile all mankind unto Himself, through the finished work of Christ, Who "will see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied" "Having made peace through the blood of His cross, through Him to reconcile all unto Himself." God planned all before any of His purpose was put into operation. "Out of Him, and through Him and unto Him is all."
God shares His greatest secrets with His dearest ones, those who search and believe His word. They comprise the present church - the body of Christ. The purpose of God is revealed in His word, but has been partly obscured by inconsistent translation. You can understand more of God's purpose by using the Concordant Version, the only version of the Scriptures to have a consistent vocabulary.
