The overarching theme of the Bible is the Father/Son relationship. In fact, the entire Bible is a full description of this relationship between Father and Son, as God wants to see it in us. We know this because of the testimony of the best authority in the Bible - Jesus himself, the eternal Son of God. The reason he came was to gather a Family together and make them one with himself, in his image, so that they might become Sons of God.

We first see this relationship of the Father/Son with the creation of man, who was made in God's image. That means man was made after the pattern of the Father and Son in Heaven, and was to enjoy the special privileges and responsibilities that a son has with his Father as he lived in this physical world. This world, in other words, mirrored the one in Heaven.

When man turned to sin and death, God made a new plan to restore the relationship between him and mankind, but on a higher level than Creation was - now man is going to enter into the Heavenly relationship itself. The first step was the Covenant with Abraham: based on the Father/Son pattern, God started a new Family in which men will be the heirs of God and receive the inheritance of Heaven as his sons.

The rest of the Old Testament tells about the methods that God devised to create sons who will live with him in Heaven. This process involves seven phases in which the sons of God are prepared and trained to live in God's spiritual world. Each of these steps is essential to give man the things that he will need for this special life with the Father.
