Is God a liar?

Am I going to lay a stake in the ground, claiming that I have never missed God's goal for my life?

I could but I would be claiming that God is a liar. Now that is something to think about.

Claiming that would show my ignorance. Do I really want that?

No, I don't.

If we claim that we've never missed God's goal for our life (sinned), we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God. ~~Apostle John (1 John 1:10)

A clean sweep

God has made us a grand promise. And, He is true to His word. We know that we've missed God's goal in our life. He doesn't see that. He sees Jesus taking that burden off of us. Once we come clean, he completely purges us from that way of seeing things.

I need to remember that and change my mind about how God sees me. I can achieve the goal He has in mind for me. I am His child.

On the other hand, if we admit our we have missed God's goal for our lives—make a clean breast of  that issue—he won't let us down; he'll be true to himself. He'll forgive us and purge us of all wrongdoing. 1 John 8-10

Jesus was not in an election

Before Jesus, the High Priest had to offer up sacrifices to blot out the continuous nature of our missing God's goal. He also had to do this for himself as well since he missed God's goal as well. Jesus, God's son, offered up himself, who never missed God's goal for his life. God set him aside for this role. He is now our High Priest.  We share in his new plan. It was the perfect plan, perfectly executed. Only Jesus could do it for us.

Jesus wasn't elected to this position. God, His Father, appointed Him. No populare vote here. No democracy in God's world. His decision and it was perfect. Thanks be to our magnificent Leader!!

No one elects himself to this honored position of High Priest. He's called to it by God, as Aaron was. Neither did Christ presume to set himself up as high priest, but was set apart by the One who said to him, "You're my Son; today I celebrate you!" In another place God declares, "You're a priest forever in the royal order of Melchizedek." Hebrews 5:40-16
