Now here's Pastor Rick Warren with part two of a message called Radical Joy.

Now the truth is the reason you were made, the reason the universe exists is God wanted

a family and he wanted that family to not just be with him here on earth but to be with

him forever, his forever family.

The Bible says in advance, God already knew who would choose to accept him and he still

chose to make all of us.

He gives us that choice.

The Bible says this in Romans 8.29, for God knew His people in advance, those who would

be a part of His family, it's a choice.

He chose them then to become like His Son so that His Son would be the first born with

many brothers and sisters.

God is our Father, Jesus is our older brother and we are brothers and sisters in the family

of God.
