The Simple God's Purpose for Man

"I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you life and a purpose." (Jer. 29:11) God has a very beautiful plan for us, for each one of us who is living on this planet. But God has also given us the gift of "free will". God's beautiful plan for us will be fulfilled only if we submit to His will. We are free to choose. We are also free to choose if we will submit to His plan or not. In another verse of the bible it says, "I lay before you life or death, blessing or curses. Now choose life!" God is advising us to choose life (or good) and not evil. If we will choose good then God's beautiful plan will be fulfilled in us. If we will choose evil, then curses and death will happen to us. I'll give you a concrete example. God's command for children is to honor their father and mother. The promise of prosperity and long life will happen to children who honor their parents. And it is happening in our days. The successful people (not engaged in evil work, and getting rich) are those who have honored their parents. But curses happen to those who have disobeyed their parents. Hence, God's plan is good for us and if we will submit to His will and commandments it will be fulfilled in us.
