Was this a flawless plan or just madness?

20. May 2009 by PawBill.

The plan was ingenious: neither flawed or madness!  No present day intellectual could have devised a mental health plan like it.  It is all encapsulated in the term “Grace.” 

Our creator, the “I AM” of Exodus 3:14, fashioned man (I’m going to be politically incorrect and just use the term man rather than man/woman for simplicity) and gave him the free will to make his own way in a world designed for his habitat.  A Garden of Eden, if you will. 

Now, our creator did not want just another animal as in a puppy dog to pet.  He would save that creation for man to enjoy.  He created man for a particular purpose and while we as yet do not know or understand that purpose it will one day be revealed. 

Our creator understood the workings of man’s intellectual faculties.  After all, he designed them; even Lucifer (Satan) was one of his creations.  Our creator knew man would be capable of digressing to animalistic behavior or even worse if they were not able to manage their self-will which he endowed them with.

Knowing that man (because of man’s gift of self-will) would be capable of failing to live up to his created design, our creator provided a way for man to be forgiven of all transgressions he would commit.  He would not have to do good works, but he would have to have faith and believe in the concept of a God as his protector and provider.

So how is man doing?  Not so well.  Man has denied the existence of his creator and has refused to accept his creator’s commandments.  After all, is not the New Age movement declaring that all men are gods?  Satan also sought to be God.

In ancient times our creator gave the Hebrew people a sacrificial system of forgiveness. An animal was brought to the Priest and slain for a man’s transgressions of the law.  Those transgressions were called sins, an all-encompassing term. This system was unable to completely atone for the sinfulness of man because it had to be repeated ad infinitum.

Some ancient men also sought to make sacrifices, human sacrifices, to various gods of nature that cannot hear, talk or see: the worship of objects rather than the living creator. 

When our creator was ready, he revealed his ultimate plan for man.  One sacrifice, Jesus Christ, who would take on the transgressions of all men for now and forever more, and the sacrificial sacrifices would be abandoned.  By believing on Jesus Christ, man was freed from the bondage of sin.

I know this does not make any sense to man’s “human mind.”  It is a spiritual concept or dimension to be accepted on faith, with no works involved.  You do not have to do anything to earn forgiveness.  You just have to accept the free offer of forgiveness and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit that will dwell within you.

The plan is this.  When the Spirit of God convicts you of your transgressions or sins, confess and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior; believe that he was born of a virgin, died on a cross for your transgressions, was resurrected from the grave, and will send his Holy Spirit to dwell within you; one day he will return and give you a glorified body. If you can accept and believe this, you will live forever with Jesus Christ.

By believing and accepting Jesus Christ as your savior and accepting the Holy Spirit in your life, your mental and physical conditions can be managed without alcohol, mind altering drugs, psychologists, psychiatrists and in some cases medical doctors.

Your creator provided the answers and solutions, all you have to do is believe and receive.  Apparently this is too simple a process for man, who would prefer doing good deeds or performing good works, rather than accepting his creator’s way of redemption.  What a pity.  How about you? 

Will you accept your creator’s Grace?  Ask him now if your spirit is leading you.
