God 's plan for humans

The purpose of creating humans has been the most complicated issue of the world history. According to the Bible, God created humans in his own image (Genesis l: 26). He created humans for his own fellowship, so He would be their God and they would be His people (Exodus 6:7, Leviticus 26:12, Jeremiah 7:23, 31:33, 2 Corinthians 6:16, Revelation 21:3).
God created humans in His Own image; therefore all humans have the power and right to choose. The Lord has presented his laws through His Word for humans ' well being and guidance. These laws or the Word of God is the cause of blessing in life and guidance for a successful life here and for eternity. When the Lord created Adam and Eve, He declared His law about not eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17). But unfortunately they went their own way instead of God 's way and ate from the fruit of that tree. It was in this way that God 's law was broken and sin was committed.

(Zechariah 12:10)". In this verse we clearly see that the Lord has predicted his own death on the cross and getting strike by a spear, which happened to Jesus Christ (John 19:34-37). In the New Covenant we see so many verses that talks about Jesus being God. In John we read: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being ... And the word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
