God's
Structured Plan of Design
Before God created the heavens and the earth, He had a plan. It governs everything that has or will ever happen to us and everything will follow exactly on time, according to God's Structured Plan of Design.
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible: all things were created by him and for him:
God prepared inside of Himself, everything that was to be, and when He spoke, it came into being. The word He spoke was "Let it be" and it is still in the process of being.
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Your Individual Path of Perfection
God's Structured Plan of Design is so complex that it includes everything that will happen to you in your life, including the choices you make along the way. From your perspective, you have choices to make and can't avoid doing so, but from His perspective, the choices are already made according to His great Plan. This sounds like a brain twister, but it is in fact only one of the facts we must deal with as we learn to become more like Him.
God has a Path of Perfection planned for each one of His children. In this life, some paths lead to Salvation and others lead to the grave but every step is accounted for.
When you are Born Again at Salvation, you receive an anointed spirit (christ spirit) from The Father. Your spirit contains the mind of Christ and is given to teach your soul to begin lining up with the things of God so that you can begin changing into His image.
