God created man in His own image, a reflection of divine splendor and purpose. The Almighty, in His wisdom, bestowed upon us the sacred Commandments, a beacon to guide our steps and mold our hearts. Yet, our frailty led us astray, and sin entered the world, casting shadows upon our path.
But from the heart of heaven came our Savior, Jesus, who bore the weight of our transgressions and paid the price for our sins. Through His sacrifice, the chasm between us and the Divine was bridged. Thus, the Kingdom of Heaven will be established, a realm of purity, beauty and truth where the faithful who seek it with humble hearts shall dwell in God's eternal light.

A very good summary. However, the word "frailty" is too weak. I would substitute "rebellion." As a teaching and preaching tool, it needs to be more memorable, though.

The "all-things" would be given to perfected believers when we live on the new earth.

Who says that believers will live on the new earth? That is totally false. The eternal home of the saints is in the New Jerusalem, which will definitely not be on earth. It will remain a heavenly body.

I completely agree, but the history of human failure to worship and serve God magnifies what Jesus did for us.

who is watching Him make a creature with freedom to sin then give His own life in mercy and love to redeem that creature from his mistakes?

what is God demonstrating, and to who? and why?

it's not all about us.
