God, who created everything, wanted me to help everyone understand the mysterious plan that had always been hidden in his mind.Then God would use the church to show the powers and authorities in the spiritual world that he has many different kinds of wisdom.
God did this according to his eternal plan. And he was able to do what he had planned because of all Christ Jesus our Lord had done. Christ now gives us courage and confidence, so we can come to God by faith.
Ephesians 3:9-12
God had a plan! Those words are really quite amazing. God is not running through eternity with no purpose and no plan. God has a plan. And that plan has your name written quite clearly in it. God has set up eternity with a place for you to live with Him in Heaven forever!
The "free will" of man is very simple. God gives you the ability to freely say "Yes" to His will or in the same way to say "No." Hell will not be filled because people are sinners and Heaven will not be occupied by those who did not sin. Hell will be the dwelling place for those who said "No" to Jesus and Heaven for those who said "Yes."
Sin is not the determining factor because Jesus died for all those sins. You can only go to Heaven by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord of your life. You will only go to Hell because you reject Him!
So quit trying to be good enough to deserve Heaven. You can't do it. Spend your time with your Lord and learn from Him. He is your only hope!
"Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for me and my sins! Give me courage and confidence so that I can come to God by faith! And may You be praised forever! Amen."
