His Story requires a certain mindset to consider. Why does the fall occur at the outset? It typifies the understanding that the story is about the redemption of the fall not about men standing righteous throughout only to fight wars against evil. In this story I am not the hero, though my ego bids me write that exact scenario into all of my recounting.
What if the story was never about me, but an invitation to see that God can create worlds and overcome even Creation’s egregious mistakes to return all of that creation to His intention? Why is it God’s Will that every human will come to the knowledge of His Sovereign Grace?
John 1:3 says, All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. When we consider that all things were made by Jesus, we understand that His Will is the sole provision of our success or failure. Considering His Will is that we are all redeemed to the Father then that will be the Overwhelming force producing all lasting outcome.
This scripture Truth also governs all those who want to contort the purpose of our Creation and the singularity of Jesus as the sole avenue to repair. If all of us were made for His Good Glory then all of us may only find that redemption on one path through Jesus to the Father. Thus No one comes to the Father but by the Son.
How does this sponsor, change or adapt my thinking from outset to deliverance? This story is no longer my own but an offering that I may place at its rightful author in worship and praise of His Good Glory in Revelation to all mankind of our Creator, Jesus. This puts to sleep any deviation from a script that may not be contorted.
That washes clean our understanding of what it means to deny self and follow Him. For nothing of the story referencing me as subject but rather object and impact point of the true Hero God, I may now clearly align my thinking, prayers and actions to achieving through miracle and personal effort HIS glory as the ONLY True objective.
Praise God that I am a part of the realization of His intention for creation, fall and restoration. Through my dependence upon His Entire Faithfulness I get to enjoy deliverance as outcome. Yes, I am a bit part in a super Universal telling of His Story, but I am overcome to think that He ever even considered me to play any role whatsoever.
