1. The plan of God is about God. Everything that God does is for His own glory. And the ultimate purpose of the plan of God is for the glory of God.
2. Long before the creation of the world and before the existence of Adam as well as the lamb, God had chosen Jesus Christ as the lamb of God. A lamb of God is a figure of speech resembling the lamb that substituted Isaac as a sacrificial offering by Abraham to God. A premonition that Jesus Christ will someday be offered as a sacrifice to God. God had planned in advance in eternity to reveal His glory by His works in saving man.
3. That is the reason why Jesus Christ is the very apex of God’s purpose. He is the center of God’s plan, specifically the plan of redemption of the sin of man. It is through the precious blood of Jesus Christ without blemish or defect that God will display the glory of His grace to the believer and the glory of His wrath to the sinner. And the glory will even be revealed to the angels, demons and inanimate objects.
4. As part of the great plan God had to include sin. He uses sin and sinners to carry out His purpose. God therefore allowed sin in order to reveal His holiness and justice in punishing it as well as to reveal His grace and mercy in forgiving it.
5. In this context the fall of Lucifer and the fall of man are necessary evil because God in His wisdom planned it like that. So was the betrayal by Judas Iscariot. Everything can be traced back to His ultimate plan. His plan is inevitable. His way is mysterious.
6. God is a master planner. Would there be Christianity had God planned otherwise?
