The Will of God (I): “Divine Plan”
Isaiah 46:9-11
Introduction-
Main Idea- The “big picture” in understanding the concept of God’s will is that it’s a Divine plan.
(Isaiah 46:9-11) God has a plan for history according to His purpose and the power to pull it off.
(Acts 2:22-24) God’s plan predetermined the crucifixion of Jesus but still makes room for the responsible choices of mankind.
(Ephesians 1:3-12) God’s plan includes everything in some sense, but spotlights your salvation through Christ by faith.
Concluding Question- What should be your attitude in understanding that there is a Divine plan that somehow includes everything?
Biblical Answer- Matthew 6:10 and 26:42
