“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11
Jeremiah 29:11
God has revealed in is Word that He has divine plans for you and me. Many of the troubles that we encounter in this life happen because we either don’t know God’s plan or we have chosen to ignore God’s plan, thinking that we have a better one. Let me share one of the areas that God has revealed the plans He has for us, plans for good, plans to give you a future and a hope.
God has a plan for your Spiritual Life. Jesus revealed this plan very clearly when He said “You must be born again”. No amount of good deeds, no religious affiliation can put you in right standing with God. Only being born again spiritually can accomplish this. Jesus went on to say, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man can come to the Father except through Me.” God’s plan to provide salvation for you and me is only by and through Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul explained it by saying, “If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord you will be saved.”
This is the most important part of God’s plan for your life. If you don’t understand and accept this part of God’s plan none of the rest really matters. Accepting or rejecting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior will determine where you will spend eternity.
There really is a heaven and there really is a hell. Because of sin every man is condemned already. God’s plan of redemption is a good plan that gives us a future and a hope.

Notice that this plan God has for your Spiritual Life is focused on you and I accepting God’s plan of salvation which is completely dependent on accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Finding a good Bible believing church is important but that can’t save you. Being a good moral person is something we all should strive for but that can’t save you. Giving to the poor is commendable but that does not open heaven for you. God’s plan is for you to accept His Son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. This is the only way to be born again spiritually and begin your new life with God.
