Romans 5:6-8
The same Google brings up these verses:
“You see, at just the
right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:6 NIV
“But when the set time had
fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to
redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.” Galatians 4:4-5 NIV
“For God says, “At just the
right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the
“right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.”
2 Corinthians 6:2 NLT
You
may have observed something similar in your own life; that is, sometimes things
seem to happen “at just the right time”; like there is a plan. The fact is, the
Bible is the story of God’s plan of Redemption where things happen “at just the
right time”. The corollary to this fact is, that YOU and I are a part of this
plan.
God
has worked in your life and in mine to bring us into faith in Christ. He
brought people and experiences into our lives that changed us. In turn, He
continues to work by bringing you and me into the lives of others to use us in
their life.
It
might be when you are talking around the water cooler at work, having a cookout
with your neighbors, at a church dinner, sitting at a Buckeyes game or playing
in a golf outing through work. We don’t live in a vacuum. God is always at
work, and His work is “at just the right time”.
In
today’s passage, Paul wrote, “Very
rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone
might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
“While we were still
sinners”…
You have the best story ever to share with a dying
world. It’s your story of
how God has been at work in your life. He did it “at just the right time”, and
now He is ready for you to be there for somebody else.
How does it feel to be a part of God’s plan of redemption?
