Brother Sparks begins by acknowledging the diverse spiritual experiences within the audience, from new believers to those with a mature understanding of God. He emphasizes the importance of grasping what it means to be in Christ and aims to help everyone deepen their knowledge of the Bible. The goal is not just to know the Bible but to allow it to speak personally to each individual, guiding them in their spiritual journey. He introduces the key theme of the conference, focusing on the eternal glory in Christ, as highlighted in 1 Peter 5:10. Brother Sparks explains that God's ultimate purpose is glory, which is realized in Christ. He discusses the concept of the "mystery of His will," revealing that God desires a people who reflect this glory. The creation itself is tied to this purpose, waiting for the manifestation of God's children. However, a rift in glory occurred due to the fall of Lucifer and humanity's subsequent disobedience, leading to a broken relationship with God. Understanding this rift is essential to grasping the significance of Christ's redemptive work and the promise of future glory for believers.
