The Creation Plan of God

our desires as human beings, in that it is free of all limitations and disadvantages, free of fear and pain, free of all imperfections. It would be an eternal world with neither death nor old age, an ideal world where we could achieve fulfilment. Less-than-perfect beings cannot inhabit a perfect Paradise. So, God created perfection-seeking beings— human beings. He intended us to spend a period of trial here. After this, according to our deeds, we will earn the right to inhabit the perfect and eternal world. As part of this test, Paradise is kept hidden from us. The essence of God’s Creation Plan is to give a person complete freedom–not simply as a gift, but as a test. The result of this test would enable God to know who misused his freedom and who put his freedom to the best use. This was, and still is, the divine scheme of things for man. In the pre-death period of life, an individual has the chance to qualify himself for Paradise so that in the post-death period of life, he may be settled as a deserving candidate in this perfect world. This world, therefore, has all the components necessary for a test. It has perfection-seeking beings in a less-than-perfect world, beings who have been given complete freedom to choose their actions.
