Read: vs. 11-12
These verses are a summary of the main idea of this section.
(It’s all God’s doing!)
You are not the reason you are a Christian, God is!
God works all things after the counsel of his will, and that’s the basis of your inheritance.
God’s Eternal Purpose
God Has a Plan
This means that he is intentional, purposeful!
,
Isai
2. It is a sovereign plan
This is what is meant by the counsel of his will.
Meaning, God does what God wants to do.
He doesn’t consult a group of people, or get together and have a conference.
He is the only counselor that He needs.
His will is perfect
Isaiah 40:13-1
Daniel 4:34-35
3. It includes all things
Every action good or bad is included in the eternal purpose of God.
Proverbs 16:
Psalm 33:11
“If the Lord wills...” James
4. It Cannot Be Changed
Isaiah
Argument
This is what it means for God to be God!
If this was not the case, then there is some part of his creation not under his control, there’s some part that he’s not “God” over.
In this part God is governed, thwarted, and not God.
That’s why we say God is God even over the actions of men.
God even governs the free decisions of men.
He does not given wicked me
God is not the author of evil, but he does direct and restrain evil to bring about his purposes.
Illustration
Joseph
Jesus
Acts 2:
No act of Evil is outside the purposeful direction of God!
Our Inheritance
When it comes to salvation, God plans:
Who he will save.
How he will save them.
To what end he will save them.
Our verse speaks of the third: Our inheritance is the result of God’s saving work for us.
Jesus is the rightful heir of all things, and because we are in Him, we too share in his inheritance.
Conclusions for Practical Application
Don’t try to figure out God’s plan (Secret things) but rather rest again in God’s goodness toward you.
You are secure in the unthwartable God!
If you are an unbeilever, don’t try to figure out God’s plan, obey his commands!
Turn to Christ!
2. Stop worrying about your life!
It’s unblelief!
Rather worry about how to please God!, how to obey his word!
3. Rest in God’s plan, when evil comes!
