1 Peter 1:20-21
“He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.”
1 Peter 1:20-21 NIV
Jesus is a Man like no other member of the human race. On the one hand, He was foreknown before the creation of the world, but on the other, He was revealed at God's appointed time and was made manifest for our sake, when He was born into His own creation to become the Saviour of the world, by means of His sacrificial death and glorious resurrection. Yes, Jesus is the Word made flesh Who came to tabernacle amongst His own creation so that He could save His people from their sin by faith in Him. As God incarnate, the Lord Jesus is the only Man Who could ever claim to be the one Way to the Father, the singular Truth in a fallen world of lies and deception and the one and only perfect Man Who was resurrected from the dead and in Whom is eternal Life. It is true that He was chosen and foreordained to be the sacrifice for sin before the foundation of the world, but He was brought out into the public view and made manifest to the world in these last days. He was born into the human race and named Jesus, God is Salvation, for your sake and for mine, so that by grace through faith in Him we might be forgiven of our sins and have life everlasting. Oh yes, on the one hand, Christ was foreknown before the creation of the world, but on the other hand, He was revealed at the end of time for our sake. And in Christ we have an absolute assurance in God's plan of redemption for the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting.. for He is our Life and in Him is life everlasting. And all who place their faith and hope in Him will never perish, but have life. His life, eternal life and have it more abundantly. It can be easier to trust in money, or a relationship because they are things you can see. However, real faith is just believing God and taking Him at His Word. So challenge yourself today to not trust in things that you can see, but to put your trust in God. God is the one who won’t let you down and who won’t fail you. Challenge yourself to trust Him today!!!
Father thank You this day that You gave Your only begotten Son to be born as a baby into this fallen race of man so that by grace through faith in Him we might be redeemed, forgiven, saved, sanctified and made one with Him, in spirit and in truth through time and into eternity. Lord pour out Your abundant blessings from the storehouses of heaven upon my friend and family today. Lord our hope is in You, we marvel that You were chosen before creation to be the solution to the failure we have caused. Lord help us to get the word out to many more people so they can live in the freedom of God granted success. Lord use my friend to be the voice crying in the wilderness of this world that You are life and life abundantly to all today. Daddy we love You amen. Be a blessing. Love ya !
