What is God’s plan for us? Of course God’s plan is “…thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end…” (Jeremiah 29:11)
But we might have questions in our minds, why there is less peace we have these days? And instead, we feel more hatred?
Because of sin, we have to bear the consequences of it. But remember, our lives do not stop here. There is a far more beautiful live, the best plan God has prepared for us, that is salvation.
That is why the book of Romans says, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32)
This verse reminds us of the verse in the book of John, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
From the verses here we are reminded that God has planned for everyone to be saved. God provides salvation for all of us, but the question for us is: do we want to accept the salvation that God has given us?
If we want, then accept it by faith and walk according to His Word.
Happy Sabbath and God bless you.
