Eph 1:9 NLT
God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan.
Mysterious Will
God had kept His plan a secret from the beginning. His plan was that Jesus would be the perfect sacrifice to redeem who so ever will back to Himself.
God’s Good Plan
God created mankind for fellowship with him. That was always the plan. Christ has now made that plan possible. Christ was always the plan, from before He created the world.
We can only be in right standing with God through Christ!
