Re: What is God's Economy?
The concept of most Christians is to be a good person and do good things. But the Bible teaches a greater purpose.
God's economy is about conformation to the image of Christ:
Gen 1:27 So God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God;
Romans 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
All of those rules and instructions you mentioned have their ultimate purpose in achieving Romans 8:29 and 2 Cor 3:18
2 Cor 3:18 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
