- Galatians 4:4-5 - But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
- Romans 5:6 - For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
- Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit created the beautiful heavens and the earth. Even before Adam and Eve were created, God knew that sin would enter the world and separate humanity from Him. Despite this, the plan of salvation was already in place. When the time had fully come, God's Son came into this world, became human, and fulfilled this plan of salvation. The Lord does nothing by accident or without a plan. Every one of His plans is carried out at exactly the right time. This truth applies not only to great events in human history but also to the life of every believer. God determined the day we would be born and knows every moment of our lives perfectly. Just as the coming of Christ occurred at the time determined by God, so will God fulfill His will in our lives in the fullness of time. He has promised that for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose, He will work all things together for good. Do you trust God's plan for your life? God, who possesses perfect wisdom and knowledge, knows what He is doing. Even if circumstances push you to hurry or to lose hope, trust in His timing. God is faithful—He will complete the work He has begun and is never late.
