“WHEN THE FULLNESS OF TIME HAD COME, GOD!”

Galatians 4:4-5                          (ESV)

“4 But “WHEN THE FULLNESS OF TIME HAD COME, GOD” sent forth HIS SON, born of woman, born under the law,

5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.”

Throughout Scriptures GOD has displayed HIS Power and Glory for HIS chosen people JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME over and over again!  Remember in Genesis 22 when Abraham payed Isaac on the altar?  GOD provided a ram caught in a bush as a substitute!  Remember in Exodus 14 when the children of Israel were encamped on the banks of the Red Sea?  GOD parted the Red Sea and “got glory over Pharaoh and all his hosts” as HE delivered HIS children!  

Can you imagine Abraham desiring an answer for his problem when Isaac was on the altar, or the children of Israel desiring GOD to send a solution to their captivity in Egypt that fit “their idea” of freedom?  What about when the disciples were waiting for JESUS to “assume” HIS Kingdom on earth to become KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS?  What we THINK GOD has planned for our future should not be confused with what HE SAYS will happen.  

But “WHEN THE FULLNESS OF TIME HAD COME, GOD” had a Plan, a DIVINE PLAN, to redeem fallen man.   What do we do fulfill that Plan?  Hebrews 11:6 says “And WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please HIM, for whoever would draw near to GOD must believe that HE exists and that HE rewards those who seek HIM.”   We MUST Believe that our redemption is bought and paid for by the finished work of CHRIST.  We can do nothing to add to, and certainly not improve, what JESUS did over 2,000 years ago.  

Don’t allow the enemy to cause worry and doubt to cloud your view of the prize before you.  Keep your eyes on the JESUS, the Author and Finisher of our FAITH (Hebrews 12:2), and IN HIS TIMING, HE WILL DELIVER YOU!  Likewise, “WHEN THE FULLNESS OF TIME HAD COME, GOD” will send JESUS back to earth, but not until then!!!
