“In Him… being predestined according to the purpose of Him
who works all things according to the counsel of His will.”
-EPHESIANS 1:11
Here
we have a three-fold witness to God’s Ultimate Purpose and Intention in
Christ. First, God has a Will. Second, God’s Will is “all things in
Christ.” Third, God is working all things according to this Purpose.
The
fact that God has a Will, and works everything according to this Will,
is critical. There is a Purpose, a
reason for being. Nothing is created apart from this Purpose. You are
not an accident; you are not a mistake; you are not just a quirk of fate
or a victim of circumstance. There is no such thing as “luck.” There is
an infinitely wise Creator Who stands behind His Creation, and He has
brought nothing into being without having first completed it in His Own
Mind first. He does not make things up as He goes along, reacting to
difficulties with a new contingency plan when things do not go as
expected. God has no “Plan B.” He uses everything – the good, the bad,
and the ugly – to accomplish His Purpose.
