The Secret to Life
Dear friend
What if I boldly told you that you could know the very secret to life? What if I told you that you can, without any doubt in your mind, know the purpose and plan for your life. This knowledge brings you into such a peace and a joy that you will guard it. What if you could have the wisdom, the key, the knowledge and the revelation of life itself? Well, I can emphatically state here today that you can! You may have asked this question many times and you actually may be asking: "How can this man know or say such a thing?" Of course the answer to this question is that God has revealed it to us. He says that we can have wisdom, understanding, knowledge and the revelation of this. 1Co 2:7 states the following: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
You see even here it states that it is a secret, a mystery. It was a hidden wisdom. But further on in the chapter, it says: 1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
So there it is! God has revealed them to us by his Spirit. So what is this wisdom, this key to life?
Have you ever asked yourself why certain things happen to you? I have many times. And at times I have even blamed God Himself. Then I discovered that the commission of the Holy Spirit is to reveal Christ to us. I discovered that all things work for our good. Even the circumstances and situations of life that come upon us could be converging things that God uses to bring us to a purpose. And it is this purpose or plan that I want to share with you. It is the PERFECT PLAN and those who have it and have been captured by it, hold onto it with all they have. It is the very purpose of God.
When did it start? Well it all started in the beginning. It started way back even before this world was created. Do you know that this world was made for Christ Jesus? Look at this scripture: Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. You see dear friend, everything on this earth has been made by him and for him. AND SO WERE YOU! You were chosen BEFORE this world was! Where specifically does it say that, you may ask? Well, here it is: Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
You may ask, "Was I chosen?" Yes, yes and a million times yes! You were chosen like everybody else! In fact, there is no other plan! This is the plan! You were chosen to be IN CHRIST before the world was even made. I told you that you could know the plan, the MASTER PLAN of all life. And this is it! All men have been chosen to be in Christ and also with Christ in us before the world was created. You see, God's plan started way back then and has absolutely nothing to do with what has happened on this earth, except by the cross where we were included into Christ. This was the outworking of the plan. We were baptised (included, joined to) into Christ and you can read all about that in Romans Chapter six. How do you access this incredible, sovereign work of God? You simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Who is the wisdom of God? Christ is! In fact He is all of the following:
1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
