What is God's plan for our lives? What is God's plan for our church? We can only find insights to address this kind of questions once we have grasped what is God's overall eternal plan for His creation. God's plan for His people does not end with their acceptance of His redemption, God intends to completely transform and restore His people to His original design, and He instituted and commissioned the church to facilitate such redemption and transformation. When we can understand our existence and the church's existence in the context of God's eternal plan, then we can make sense of everything that God asks us to do.About the Author: Rev Dr Cedric Chau is the founding Pastor of the Chinese Gospel Church of Dublin in the Republic of Ireland.
