“God’s Mysterious Plan”

 “God’s Mysterious Plan”

 

And this is God’s plan:  Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s Children.  Both are part of the same body and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.   Ephesians 3:6

 

 As we come into the time of the CELEBRATION of the RESURRECTION of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY SON, and REALIZE what it means to the GENTILES or the NON-JEWS. We may encounter some people who wonder why God would put His ONLY SON in such a HORRIBLE, INSUFFERABLE, situation.  Well, we are going to look at God’s MYSTERIOUS PLAN for ALL of MANKIND, not JUST the JEWS, but for the GENTILES as well.

 

The Apostle Paul, was writing to the People of EPHESUS, and he wanted them to KNOW about GOD’S PLAN for ALL mankind.  Paul was overwhelmed with the concept of the FAMILY of GOD, which is made up of EVERY BELIEVER, from EVERY BACKGROUND and EVERY RACE.  So, the Apostle Paul, thought it was IMPORTANT that the BELIEVERS KNOW who they are.  In verse two, Paul was given the SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY of EXTENDING God’s GRACE to the GENTILE RACE.  This GRACE is known as the MYSTERY of CHRIST, which God had REVEALED to Paul.

 

So, the Apostle explains the MYSTERIOUS PLAN of GOD, which is: The GENTILE BELIEVERS and the JEWISH BELIEVERS are the CO-HEIRS, and MEMBERS of the SAME BODY which ENJOY the PROMISE of BLESSINGS because of the SUFFERING, DEATH, BURIAL, and RESURRECTION  of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. HE is the ONLY WAY for the TRUE BELIEVER of ANY BACKGROUND or RACE to be ABLE to come BOLDLY and CONFIDENTLY into GOD’S PRESENCE.    

 

God’s Purpose was to use the CHURCH to DISPLAY His WISDOM in its RICH VARIETY to ALL the UNSEEN RULERS and AUTHORITIES in the heavenly places. And this ETERNAL PLAN, was carried out through the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  God is offering, to MANKIND from EVERY BACKGROUND and EVERY RACE, the OPPORTUNITY to become a part of His CHURCH, the BODY of CHRIST.  Will YOU ACCEPT His invitation to JOIN and become a part of the FAMILY of God??

 

If you are NOT a part of the CHURCH, the BODY of CHRIST, then you are NOT a CHILD of GOD, and you cannot receive the PROMISE of BLESSINGS.  But you will spend your ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  However, you can CHANGE that scenario by: ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who SUFFERED, BLED, DIED and was RESURRECTED from the GRAVE, and is NOW in HEAVEN sitting at the RIGHT-HAND of the HEAVENLY FATHER.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And you MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and His EXTENDED GRACE.    Now you KNOW the MYSTERIOUS PLAN of GOD, so, do the ABOVE NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!   Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
