WHAT GOD PLANNED

1 Corinthians 2:16
For, “Who can know the Lord's thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?”But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.

Away from the daily life we live on earth, we do remind ourselves that the time here is limited. No matter what it is that happens here on earth, slightly above the span of a hundred years we would leave the scene.

Genesis 6:3
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

There is a life after!

Thus what was God's plan for man?

1 Corinthians 2:7
No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began.

God had good plan for man, and His plan was known only to Him, and just as we learnt yesterday, the powers of these world had no clue, for if they did they would not have crucified Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:8
But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord.

God's plan was hid in His Word. The revelation of the Messiah was God's trump card, overriding every other.

This is why the message of every teacher should be Christ Jesus the Son of the Living God.

1 Corinthians 2:1-2,4-5
When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan.
For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.
And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit.
I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.

Jesus the Christ is God's salvation to mankind, that is why nothing else matters till we have insured our eternity by coming to Him. Away from the supernatural expectation of the Jews and the wisdom of the Greeks, FAITH is what is needed for salvation.

John 5:24-27
“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
“And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live.
The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son.
And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man.

John 6:44-47
For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up.
As it is written in the Scriptures, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
(Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.)
“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.

Some religious teachers from different sects have tried to deceive many by picking independent verses in scriptures to try to contend the divinity of Christ but they waste their time.

Man is not powerful enough to change God's plan. The salvation plan is too big for all the powers of darkness to handle talk less of manmade religions.

It is only the Son that can set man free:

John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

God's plan for man is in Christ Jesus, you do well to receive Him and walk in His light.

Glory to God.

He calls us blessed.
