Tricia McNair: Noble Life Ministries

The Word is the Good News which has been proclaimed to you. I Peter 1:25 I have Good News for you! According to the Word of God you have been ransomed and set free from evil men and worthless companions! You should be aware that the ransom paid to free you from the worthless way of life was the costly blood sacrificial death of Jesus, the Messiah. You have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in heaven. In the Messiah, God chose you in love before the creation of the universe to be holy and without defect in His presence.   Here’s a little advice.   As one who obey God, do not let yourselves be shaped by the evil desires you use to have.

This involves events in our life happening at a particular time. Your life plan aligns with the greater plan of God at the appointed time, to give you the hope and a future that He has for you.
