God´s plan: Your choise 3

Does God expect too much of me? God expects our transformation (Romans 12:2), obedience and spiritual growth. To be transformed doesn´t mean to be a copy or an imitation. (Matthew 5:40, 44, Luke 6:36) Some commandaments in the Bible are dynamic that means we should show some action, others are passive that means we had to obey with submission. Obeying God we find an opposition in our flash (Romans 7:21-23). God´s desire is to see us grow spiritualy and continually, to see our character changed, to mature and to pass from the level of „a student“ to the level of „a teacher“ (Ephesians 4:13-15). God is ready to help us. He will transform us as we submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit (Galatians 2:19-20, Romans 12:1-2). God will strenghten us. He doesn´t expect that we try to fulfill His plan by our strenght (Ephesians 2:10, 3:20, Romans 8:1-4, Philippians 2:12-13). God doen´t give up when we mistake. We can mistake because we have a human nature, we live in the corrupted world, we still grow, we are still in the process of transformation... But God knows our errors before we make them. Therefore we can be sure that He is always in control. He knows everything about us (Psalm 139:2-4, 11-16). God´s grace is bigger than our errors and His forgiveness is always avaliabile for us (1. John 1:9). God´s plan for our lives is not based on our ability to be perfect but on the wisdom and ability of the Lord. The power of God is always avaliabile for us (2. Corinthians 12:7-10) God conceived His plan knowing always our errors. Unsuccess and sins don´t stop God´s work in us (Jeremiah 18:1-10, Colossians 1:27, Hebrews 11 – think about lives of heroes of faith and their errors).

God´s plan: Your Choice 2

How can I be instructed by God? The first step for participate a plan of God is to be saved by Jesus Christ. To know the message of salvation is not enough for saving us. We need to obey and submit ourselves to God. The act of obedience is our faith (Acts 16:30-31, John 17:8, Acts 18:8) Accepting Jesus Christ we submitted ourselves to God´s will revealed in the Bible. Holy Spirit convinced us that Jesus is realy alive. Allowing Him to convinced us we submitted to Holy Spirit.
Obedience is the unique way how to collaborate in the God´s plan. (Deuteronomy 27:10, 1.Samuel 12:14, Matthew 19:17) In Psalm 119: 47, 49,167 we read about the love and obedience to God´s word. The obedience shows the love for God (John 14:15)
Why to obey? The obedience is source of blessing (Exodus 15:26, Psalm 1:2, Matthew 5-7, Romans 2:7). The obedience builds God´s kingdom. Disobedience destroys it (Genesis 3:6-19, Romans 5:15-21). Submission of Christ brought forgiveness, deliverence for mankind, restoration of life.
Rebelion of Adam started the reign of death and a curse of everything. God likes obedience. God reacted on the obedience of Christ (John 8:29, Matthew 3:17, Matthew 17:5).
God wants us to know His plan. He promised His guide – Holy Spirit (John 14-16, John 16:7) and the Holy Spirit came (Acts 2). Holy Spirit prays (Romans 8:26-27), gives His gifts (1. Corintians 12:4) and manifests Himself (Matthew 4:1, Acts 8:2, Acts 16:6-10). Also the Word of God is work of the Holy Spirit (2.Peter 1:21) In the light of the Word of God should be judged and confirmed messages awarded to Holy Spirit.

God´s plan: Your Choice 1

Does God have really a plan? Reading the Bible – God´s word given to men – we can understand that every creation was perfectly planned by God. The Earth, animals, plants, day and night, … (Job 38-39) God created man in His own image. (Genesis 1:26) God created man for having a relationship with God. We all have a possibility to enter His plan through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ. God has freedom of choice and the same freedom He has given to men. God has a plan for whole mankind. He knows us perfectly – our actions, our problems, our nature, even the number of our days (Psalm 139, Job 23:10, Psalm 31:7, 103:14, 139:16). Because He knows us He wants us to know Him. God has created men with different characters and personalities. His plan is that we „come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.“ (Ephesians 4:13) It doesn´t mean to be a copy or a twin of Jesus Christ but to know God Father as well as Jesus knows Him, to be as mature and have a knowledge as Jesus has. We are joint-heirs with Christ. (Romans 8:17) Men are created to work together, to collaborate using their different characters and personalities. God wants us to grow individualy in Jesus and to have good relationships among us. (Ephesians 2:11-22, 6:10-18, John 13:34-35) We can look on God´s plan with twelve disciples. He chose them (Mark 3:13-15, Luke 6:12-16) They had different characters (Mark 3:17, John 13:23, John 1:47). And also Revelation 21:14 is still God´s plan for these twelve disciples. The presence of Jesus in our lives is enough for completing the plan of God in us. Our responsability is to walk with Him. God can change anybody who submits to His will (1.Timothy 1:15). God invites us to collaborate with Him. He will take care for us and He is above any circumstance. (John 17:21, Romans 8:28-30, Jeremiah 18:1-6)
