GOD'S PLANS

 

 

 

 

The last two entries about God's Plan are meant for two things.
 

 

The first entry, "The Plan and Purpose," is designed to help you to understand the way God has written the Bible for understanding His way in our lives.  This entry is to help you know what to look for as you read the Bible for your own growth and development as a disciple of Christ, moving toward becoming a "fisher of men" for Him.




Here are five notes to better understand the entry "The Plan and Purpose." 

 

 

1.  Read Ephesians 1.3-14 numerous times  to get the "big picture" of what God is all about in His

        decision to create the world, universe. This "big picture" will enable you  

           have confidence that your life is important in God's plans.

 

 

  2.  Read the Sermon to know the brief outline of what this life is all about. 

          The Sermon is an explanation of Gpd's plan for disciples of Christ.

          Read the Sermon several times, until you get the idea of happens as we follow Jesus.

 

 

 

3.  Read the Gospels throughout your life to grow in understanding Who Jesus is.

 

 

 

4.  Let Acts inspire you. 

 

 

 

5.  Romans though Revelation will enable you to understand how God works out His leadership in your life on a day to day basis.
 

 

 

       The Second entry, "God Has a Plan," is intended to give you a simple explanation of  what God wants to do in lives of others.  This would be your starting point as you  teach others to be disciples of Christ.

 

 

       You need to have a good understanding and experience of the transforming power of this life that brings us into the "good, pleasing, and perfect will of God."  (Romans 12.2)  Our ability to go into the world and make disciples and teach them how this life with God works depends on our experiencing the reality and power of God in our own lives.



It is my conviction that we will have little to no impact for Christ if we cannot give a clear, Biblical based explanation of how salvation works in our daily lives.  We must live by His Biblically revealed commands in our own lives before we can teach them to others.  Teaching others how we obey the commands of Christ in our own lives is essential to teaching others to do so.  Obeying the commands of Christ is essential of knowing Jesus.   Knowing Jesus is how we make Him known to others. 


Our generation desperately needs a revival of knowing Jesus well enough to make him known to others.
