GOD never does anything without a plan or purpose:
EPHESIANS 3:11-13
11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ
Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through
faith in Him. 13 Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations
for you, which is your glory.
Even before He said, “Let there be light”, He had a plan. We Christians know this plan revolves around the Person of Jesus Christ in accordance with the Holy Scriptures (PSALM 40:7). His plan includes His calling, His purpose for your life!
Jot these down to look up later: ROM 8:28; 9:11; EPH 1:11; 2 TIM 1:9
The LORD Jesus Christ understood that in just three of the thirty three years
He lived on Earth, those final years, He would fulfill the Father’s Grand
Purpose (JOHN 17:4).
It all built up to the moment when He was on that Cross (MATT
26:53-56; JOHN 3:14; 12:32), died for our sins, dealt the death blow to the
kingdom of darkness (EPH 3:10; COL 2:15; 1 COR 15:25-27) when He rose
from the dead (1 COR 15:4) and potentially altered the course of doomed
humanity from certain, eternal damnation to the adoption by GOD as His children
(EPH 1:5-7)!
