God’s Plan

God’s plan is way better than ours.

When God promised to send His Son to save the world, He didn’t necessarily mean it in the way the Israelites understood it. Jesus wasn’t here to save them from evil kings and governments; He was here to save them from something much worse—their sin.

Sin separates us from God because He’s perfect, and nothing less than perfect can live with Him in heaven. Before Jesus came, the Israelites had to offer sacrifices so that they could come into God’s presence and pray to Him. 

But once Jesus came and died on the cross for our sins, He became the ultimate and perfect sacrifice. That’s why God sent Jesus—not to save us from bad people or hard situations, but to save us from our sins so that we can live with Him in heaven forever. And now, if you believe in Jesus, you can pray to God whenever you want. And guess what? He hears you!

That was God’s plan from the very beginning—a good and wonderful plan that changed people’s lives all around the world from the moment Jesus was born until today! And it’ll continue to change lives as more and more people learn of God’s perfect plan when they get the Good News in a language they can understand.
