Every biblical doctrine is informed by the doctrine of God as the Creator of the heavens and the earth - it sets us apart from every other world religion. It doesn’t take too long when we realize that the world is not perfect, especially his people supposedly made in his image. His image to love, forgive, show mercy, be patient, to give, to worship and serve God. Is it out of control? Yes to a large degree! “1Jn 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. Revelations 12:9 “misleading the whole world astray”. But God has a plan and it’s coming to pass as the Greatest Story ever told – it includes you and I – freewill chooses His plan or ours.
