God wants all mankind to come to the knowledge of who He is and what He has done.
God never promised to remove all trials or to give us heaven on earth. However, He has promised that the man who separates himself from the world and gives himself over to the Lord will be blessed.
A sermon about the transfiguration of Christ
The distance between man and God is great. This is partly based on the greatness of God, but the distance is magnified even more by the lowliness of man.
