God’s Great Eternal Plan

GOD OFFERS HOPE He’s worthy of your confidence

 Phil 1.21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 23 For I am hard-pressed …, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.  Why?  He heard and believed God’s Plan

OOPS!!

His plan for the universe will not be derailed or come up short

 makh·ash·ä·vä‘  thoughts woven together into an intention, or plan  Genesis 50:20 “You meant it… but God meant it …”  Jeremiah “I know the thoughts/plans…”

 He knows the beginning and the end  He Keeps His Promises  Therefore… Hebrews 10:35  Cast not away your confidence which has great reward.  What is that reward?  Blessing, peace and wisdom for now

Use your imagination but govern it with Scripture Paradise Serving, Seeing, Reigning

 Includes a design for His creation/You  Provides a way of redemption from the penalty for man’s sin  Creates a new heaven and earth to be an everlasting place for His family.  A place where they will flourish Ps  A place where all will be forever NEW

 Ps  You make known to me the path of life; In your presence there is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

 Was this plan a quick reaction to when Adam and Eve sinned?  Or a logical part of Genesis 1.1  A built in back up plan  Actually - God formed His “Eternal Plan” even before He created anything or anyone.  How can I be sure?  Titus 1.2; 2 Tim ; Eph  Remember – Jesus is eternal!! John 17.5

 Paul was certain – Philippians 1.6  Jude was certain – v. 24,25  All the people listed in Hebrews 11 were certain  The Angel was certain – Revelation 22.6  Jesus is certain – Revelation 22.7,12,13
