When God spoke all of creation into existence, He did so that we would share in His Divine life in and through all that He had created. We were to be the icons of God to the whole of creation showing forth His glory and nature as we would ever become more like Him from our fellowship with Him in the Garden of Eden, paradise. This lesson shows us the parallel between that existence and purpose in paradise and the life we are now given in the Kingdom of God eternal which includes the eternal now.
