THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN

God’s Great Eternal Plan

In a world of pain and suffering and

war

GOD OFFERS HOPEHe’s worthy of your confidence

Paul was confident about his future

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!!

THANKFULLY, NO OOPS WITH GOD

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

short

God’s Machashabah

makh·ash·ä·vä‘ thoughts woven together into

an intention, or plan   Genesis 50:20 “You meant it…

but God meant it …” Jeremiah 29.11 “I know the

thoughts/plans…”

God’s Machashabah

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

God’s Eternal Plan

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

92.12-15 A place where all will be forever NEW

A Summary:

Ps 16.11 You make known to me the path of life; In your presence there is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

So – When did this plan begin?

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 1.8-10; Eph 1.3-10 Remember – Jesus is eternal!! John 17.5

Are you confident He can do it?

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
