God and mankind are fully reconciled in Jesus Christ by not having their trespasses imputed to them. The completed work of Jesus on the cross offers to everyone who will believe in Him forgiveness and righteousness. This finished work releases to every believer the blessing of Abraham whom God called a friend. The gospel gets better still.
People today expect instant results—even in prayer—yet God works through a lifelong process, revealing His plans gradually. Rev. Genevieve Lau explains that God withholds the full picture because believers need growth, preparation, and faith to handle His plans.
God directs a person’s path only when three conditions are met together: Trusting Him, leaning on Him, and acknowledging His leadership. Believers are urged to willingly submit their own plans to God because human plans, no matter how well-intentioned, are ultimately futile without His guidance.
