God’s Will From Eternity
Below is the Message Audio followed by Typed Notes.
God’s Will and plan for humanity is from Eternity before time began. This was at the beginning of time.
Genesis 1:1-6 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
After God completed his creation of the earth, He made man in His image and instructed humanity to have dominion over His creation.
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
To make man in His image, God breathed into man the breath of life to become a living soul.
Genesis 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” God’s plan from eternity was to make man in His image-the only creature He made to have Body, Soul ans Spirit
God’s intent from eternity is to direct man’s steps and his walk in life, but humanity’s desire is to walk in it’s own way.
Jeremiah 10:23 “O Lord. I know that the way of man is in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”
From eternity, God intended humanity to be obedient to God and follow His instructions.
Ephesians 1:4 “According as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love.”
I John 5:11-12 “And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
God planned eternal life for those that believe on His Son Jesus Christ whom He sent to redeem sinful humanity.
John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”
John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.”
From eternity God’s will was for the Holy Spirit to intercede for humanity.
Romans 8:26-27 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
God’s will from eternity was for the Triune God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to to intercede and direct humanity
God plan from eternity was to give peace of mind to those that trust in Him.
Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
2 Timothy 1:9 "He saved us and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but but according to his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the world began."
God’s plan for eternal life for humanity existed before time began.
Titus 1:2 – "in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began."
