"I write this, dear children, to guide you out of missing God's goal for your life." ~~Apostle John

John has a focus for his message to us. It is one we ought to all make the most of. God has a goal for our life. Without Jesus, we miss it. We shouldn't. We don't have to.

God is in a good mood. We have help in understanding how  to meet God's goal. We have help in living a life of power, in God's Spirit to hit the mark.

And John is clear about the goal. It is to love one another. It is to love everyone we come in contact with. God's goal is love.

"I write this, dear children, to guide you out of missing God's goal for your life (sin)." ~~Apostle John (1 John 2:1 The Message)

What is God's new plan for us?

Our Father had a new plan for us. It wasn't based on the old plan where sacrificing could cover up for us missing the goal that God has for us. Nope. No more "things to do" to be in right standing. Now that is good news.

Jesus took care of all of that. Nothing left we can do to get right with God. Now Jesus has taken His seat of honor next to our Father. It is the seat of absolute perfection right alongside God. Not even angels have that kind of honor. Angels have a special place with God. Jesus is way above that. Jesus is the faithful Son. God celebrates what Jesus did for us.
