GODS PLAN

We have written about The Master Plan elsewhere, but we felt it necessary to detail Gods Plan further.

The Sovereign God of the Bible;

The All-Powerful God that created the Universe and all that it contains;

The Omnipotent, Omniscient God that owns and administers all things;

The Awesome God that selected mankind as His chosen kindred companion;

…..has also included you and me in His Plan.

That statement surpasses anything we can comprehend or even imagine!

At one point, God decided to create Himself a suitable companion. He also decided to create an appropriate environment, even a utopia, for that companion to live and enjoy. This dictated that the companion have a free will. God created Adam, and placed him in the utopia, Garden of Eden. God called Adam man. Of course, we know God also created Eve, a helpmate for Adam.

Before God created Adam, He ascertained that man, through his free will, would succumb to greed through pride, resulting in disobedience to His simple, but profound rules. This disobedience would nullify the companionship and communion between God and man. It would also allow sin to enter and cause the environment and man to be under a curse. Adam was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Now Adam must make his own provision for food and shelter by the sweat of his brow.

In God’s wisdom, He provided a plan whereby man could be re-united and again be a companion to God. This plan provided a costly sacrifice, but because God so loved man, He proceeded. It resulted in God’s Only Son, Jesus, being hung on a cross until dead. God accepted the blood of Jesus as atonement for man’s disobedience and sin. He then raised Jesus, after three days, gave Him a new body and today Jesus sits at the right hand of God, The Father, on His Throne in Heaven.

The requisite to obtaining this atonement is for man, again by his free will, to accept and acknowledge the fact that:

Jesus is God’s Son;
Jesus came to earth on a supernatural basis, born of a virgin;
Jesus lived a sin-free life;
Jesus willingly gave His life for the propitiation of sin at the direction of God, The Father;
Jesus rose from the tomb the third day;
Jesus gave testimony to many on the earth about His life and experience;
Jesus then arose to join His Father in Heaven.
Man would also need to make Jesus, Lord of his life and live as Jesus did, for Him and for His cause.

Inasmuch as we are all born with a separation from God, it is imperative that we avail ourselves of Gods Plan before we die. If we do not we spend eternity in Hell separated from God. If we re-unite ourselves to God through Jesus’ propitiation, we will spend eternity in Heaven.

To accept and restore your relationship with God, a simple, sincere and heart felt request is all it takes. Here it is:

God, be merciful to me, a sinner, and forgive all my sins. Previously I have rejected Jesus, but I repent of that sin. I believe that He came to die for me. I accept His sacrifice on the cross and the blood he shed for me. You said if I would confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior and believe in my heart that you raised him from the dead, I will be saved. I do believe, and now confess Jesus as my Savior. Thank you, Father, for giving me everlasting life and restoring me.

I ask you to seriously consider your situation and destiny. It is up to each of us to accept or reject Gods Plan! Have you? Will you? Please remember, we never know what the next minute, hour or day will bring!
