He chose before the world was created to make us a part of His garden where we could grow into the holy likeness of His Son, Jesus (Eph. 1:4). His plan was not only to save us, as important as that transformational experience is, but also to continue to nurture us into His likeness. His role as the Gardener is not finished when the seed takes root. Rather, His role in our spiritual development has just begun. The Holy Spirit works as a supernatural catalyst throughout our life.
