Gods Eternal Purpose.
In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the council of His Will. Ephesians.1:11
God works all things according to the council of His Will, right from the beginning with Adam and Eve God had a plan and a purpose for man. God had created them for fellowship with Himself even the likeness to Himself, in His own Image. He wanted Adam and Eve to be dependent upon Him and in time they would have developed Faith in God and have a working relationship with Him. God had created man for His purpose , His Will, and for His Glory. Isaiah.43:7
But then Satan came along with a desire to mess up Gods plan and His purpose and to change things to his way. Satan tempted, and deceived them to become self dependent, there was a change in their nature, and because of that change in their nature they lost the ability to fellowship with God, mankind belonged to God by creation, he was created for His Glory, according to the council of HisWill and His purpose, He owned man. He knew Satan was going to deceive man and break up the relationship between man and God through the sin of man.
Did Satan change. Gods Eternal purpose for man. No. For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself by Him whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. Colossians.1:19-20
Gods Eternal purpose and plan for man, started before creation, Jesus the Lamb of God, was slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation.13:8 Ephesians.1:4 Gods plan and purpose for man. IS JESUS CHRIST. God redeemed man with the blood of Christ as a Lamb without blemish and without spot. 1Peter.1:18-19 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world but was Manifest in these last times for You. 1Peter.1:20 Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself is the embodiment of Gods Eternal purpose for man. It is the council of His Will, that in all things He may have the Preeminence. Colossians.1:18
That in all things, He is to be first in our Churches, and In our personal lives. He must increase within us, as we decrease, if the Eternal Son of God dwells within you, the self life must decrease, for Him to have the Preeminence. Because Christ in You, is your only hope of Glory. Colossians.1:27 It has to be Him dwelling in you for the power to live the Christen life, it can only be from His inward presence that you will get revelation from God. Christ in You, the hope of Glory. For by Him all things were created, all things were created through Him and for Him and He is before all things and in Him all things consist . Colossians.1:16-17 But of Him(God) You are in Christ Jesus who became for us Wisdom from God, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption. 1Corinthians.1:30 Jesus Christ has to be your all and in all, God only sets His seal on those who are In Christ.
It is Christ Himself who is the life and power of all things, Gods Eternal purpose is bound up with and in Jesus Christ and if a Christian is to have the testimony of Christ, he will only Manifest His life by how far he has come in conforming to His Image, and to the measure of Christ dwelling in Him. You can only Manifest the measure of Christ to others, that is in you. Because it can no longer be Ibut Christ. Galatians.2:20 And it will be according to the Eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians.3:11
We must never take our eyes off Jesus, He has to be Preeminent in our lives, always first, and that will require complete surrender to His Lordship in our lives. Are You Willing.
Lets Manifest Jesus.
