We know that Jesus redeemed the righteous captives from paradise by paying the required price, His sinless shed blood. That was for the righteous dead to enter heaven. What did God get out of it all? Why couldn't they have remained in paradise? What were the future benefits to God that were set in place as a further result for those living who would dedicate their lives to Him in the same manner as those redeemed from the grave?
