God's Plan For Man html

The word of God is a binding force, sharper than a double edge sword, make no mistake about that. We must follow precisely as asked, and comprehend the mind and Divine Will of God. “For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which first announced by the LORD, confirmed to us His will by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone has testified: ‘Wha t i s man t ha t y ou ar e mi nd f u l o f h im, t he s on o f man t ha t you c ar e f o r h im? You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor and put everything under his feet.’ In putting everything under him, God l e f t no t h i ng t ha t i s no t sub j e c t t o h im. Ye t a t pr e s en t we do no t s e e e v e r y t h i ng sub j e c t t o h im . But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. Bo t h t he one who make s men ho l y and t ho s e who ar e made ho l y ar e o f t he same f ami l y . So J e sus i s no t ashamed t o c a l l t hem br o t he r s” (Hebrews 2:2-11). Jesus accepted harsh punishment; they thought the punishment was a just punishment. The severe injustice was accepted because Jesus was precisely who He said He was, God incarnate. He came to earth to save and deliver humanity from their/our sins [misunderstanding]. He suffered a human death, as if to die, but He rose from the dead in order to defeat Satan, as Satan could not defeat Jesus. Satan’s complete destruction was not scheduled at that time. Jesus’ testimony revealed God’s plan for Man; the relativity of the man Jesus, and a mere man in order to defeat Satan, so perfect justice would be fulfilled. Jesus, as a man, revealed the Divine phenomenon and a natural phenomenon denoting the significant application of the word “Chr i s t ” in two different times, in two distinct ways. Satan and that evil cohort have no alternative, other than to respond to the will of Jesus according to the will of man in perfect alignment. Satan uses the weaknesses of every individual to thwart the Divine will.
