In Christ, God is bringing heaven and earth back together, repairing what was ruptured in the Fall. The Christian life is a living expression of that: A microcosm on the individual level of all God is doing on the cosmic level in bringing all things under submission to Christ.

Mankind was created to know God, to love God, and to resemble God unlike anything else in all of creation. Though sin has entered the equation, God loved us so much that he gave his only begotten Son that we might become like him and come to know the joy of manifesting the glory of God on earth as it is in heaven.

God could have created nothing at all and he still would have been God, complete, and happy. But God’s triune goodness is such that it delights in being shared. That is the why of creation. That is the why of salvation. That is the why of the cosmos. That is the why of you.
