Debunking Blueprint Theology
The idea that God predetermines every event, including evil, is a misconception known as blueprint theology. The Bible is clear: God is good and holy (Isaiah 54:17). He redeems evil to test our faith and fulfill His purposes.
Jesus, the perfect image of God, came to defeat sin and death. His life exemplifies God's compassion, love, and forgiveness. We can trust that God is always working for our good. While it may seem counterintuitive, suffering can refine our character, deepen our faith, and draw us closer to God. Through trials, we learn to rely on God's strength and provision rather than our own.
Reflection Questions:
- How has the belief in blueprint theology impacted your understanding of God's character?
- How can you share the truth about God's goodness with others who may hold to a different theological perspective?
About this Plan
This devotional plan challenges the misconception that God makes everything happen, including evil. We will explore the biblical truth that God is good and that human free will, as well as the choices of spiritual beings, contribute to suffering in the world.
