🗣️🫶🤝 In Psalms 119:89 For ever, O LORD, thy WORD is SETTLED in heaven. (Titus 1:2; 2Tim.1:1; 2Tim. 1:9) GOD Had a PLAN Before He Had the Man! God’s ultimate PLAN of REDEMPTION and Grace was established in eternity past, long before the creation of the 1st Man or the entrance of sin into the 🌎.
I. THE PRE-CREATION COUNSEL: A PLAN of Grace
The Eternal Decree: Before God ever breathed life into the 1st man, He had a sovereign, loving design for humanity.
In Ephesians 1:4 – "Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love."
GOD'S PLAN was never a reactive "Plan B" or an emergency response to humanity's failure. It was intentionally mapped out in eternity past.
II. THE EARTHLY CONSTRUCTION: The Creation of Man
Purposeful Design: God did not create man because He was lonely or confused; He created man as a deliberate vessel to bear His image and steward His creation.
Scriptural Foundation: Genesis 1:26-27 – "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...'"
Man was introduced into an already established, perfect narrative of God's love and purpose.
III. THE FORESEEN FALL: The Lamb Slain
The Reality of Free Will: God granted man the free will to choose, fully knowing that humanity would fall into sin.
The Provision of the Lamb: Because God had the plan before He had the man, the solution for sin existed before sin ever entered the world.
In Revelation 13:8 – "...the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
Our ultimate REDEMPTION was securely settled long before our first mistake.
IV. Are You WALKING in the PREDETERMINED WILL PURPOSE TODAY?: God hasn't left us to figure life out on our own; He has specific works for us to walk in, designed BEFORE time began.
In Ephesians 2:10 – "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God PREPARED beforehand, that we should walk in them."
We do not have to stress about our calling. We simply need to surrender to the Master Planner.
Conclusion: Sovereign Redemption
Nothing in your life catches God by surprise, and no earthly mistake can undo His sovereign timeline.
In Romans 8:28 – "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."
You can have peace in the present because God had the PLAN before He had the man.
Stop relying on our own flawed "plans" and to rest in the PERFECT, PRE-ORDAINED WILL of God. The ultimate PLAN is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice secures our present peace and eternal future. 🤔🙏
