Another amazing reality of being a new creation in Christ is that you can now discover God’s master plan for your life!
In the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, we find these words, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).
God is your Creator. He designed and created you for his purpose. As his creation, you will be most fulfilled when you follow his plan. You are uniquely and exquisitely designed for God’s good and wonderful purpose.
God is your loving Father who desires you to become who he created you to be. As a spiritually newborn, you are to grow up. Your earthly life will serve as a training ground to prepare you for all eternity!
Being a child of God also means that you are expected to be in your Father’s business. You will be doing what Jesus was sent to the world to do. He has specific assignments for you to accomplish here on earth according to His perfect master plan. God wants you to advance His purposes. When you are lost in his purpose, you will experience his best.
As critical as a role you play in God’s master plan, it is not about you. This may surprise you, but it is not about you because God loves you deeply. We are not designed to be at the center of the universe. God’s creation and his masterplan are all about Jesus “so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow—in heaven and on earth and under the earth—and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10-11).
