MY FRIENDS, A PERFECT PLAN, FOR SOMEONE AS IMPERFECT AS YOU AND I!!

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) Let’s focus on Calvary today and the plan for our salvation 1 John 5:11-12 (NKJV) tells us, “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”

And this perfect plan my friends, the plan of salvation that tells us that God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten Son that who so ever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16 (KJV) and a Son who was willing to accept this perfect plan and die for you and I.

“For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.  But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:7-8 (NKJV) In addition, each of God’s faithful who believe and endures to the end can be “confident of this, that he who began a good work in you [and I] will carry [this perfect plan within us] on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Phil 1:6 (NIV)

Such a perfect plan, for an imperfect sinner like you and I “Such a sacrifice was of sufficient value to save the whole world; but only a few would avail themselves of the salvation brought to them through such a wonderful sacrifice. For many would not comply with the conditions required of them that they might be partakers of His great salvation.

They would prefer sin and transgression of the law of God rather than repentance and obedience, relying by faith upon the merits of the sacrifice offered. This sacrifice was of such infinite value as to make a man [or woman] who should avail themselves of it more precious than fine gold…..” (E.G. White The Story of Redemption pp 48-49)

My friends the perfect plan has been laid out before us, grace bids us to accept this free gift for the price was paid on Calvary. In addition we must ask ourselves “what good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Mark 8:36 (NIV) Satan’s fate is sealed, death awaits him, and right now he is trying to encourage each of God’s Children that death and the things of this world are a better alternative then God’s kingdom and life eternal.

God wants us to understand that “those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth [or the things of this world], which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God,” So today ask God to supply your needs in whatever way He fills fit to accomplish His perfect plan within us as we search the scriptures for his promises, while Enduring till this race is over.

So today, let’s continue to Prepare our character for Christ’s second coming as we continue to ask our Savior, not my plan, but thy perfect plan be done in our life because as “Children of God; it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. [A perfect Savior, who had a perfect plan, for our Salvation] 1 John 3:2 (NKJV)

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
