The Father Is At The Heart Of It AllGenesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
He started it all, and all of it. It was His plan to create everything. Jesus may have been the builder, but it was the Father who initiated the plan. It’s like the Father was the architect, and Jesus was the construction manager. Christians are His children through His plan of salvation.
First thing, The Plan, Part I. Ephesians 1:4, “For he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him." The Father didn’t create everything haphazardly. His creation and salvation plans have foundations, showing His God-power in perfection.
Then, Love and Obey Him. 2 Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.”If the Father speaks (has spoken), don’t you think we, as created beings, should pay attention to Him? The answer would be, “Of course!” It’s the logical choice, the wise one. After all, He offers everyone a home with Him. Sounds fantastic to me!
Then, Part II of His Plan. Check out John 5:28-29. The Father also has planned for those who don’t want a home in heaven.
The fourth thing is, it’s Time Now. His plan of salvation is offered every moment. Here’s 2 Corinthians 6:2, “AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"—” If today is the day for salvation, implying there won’t be a day of salvation sometime in the future, then act on salvation right now.
If there’s a fifth item, it would be, “Stay Saved.”
——-
Summary: The Father created each of us. It would make the utmost sense to stay with Him. A heavenly home is inexpressibly joyful. But His retribution is out-of-this-world!
He is our life, now and forevermore.
