Why is the concept of a 'set time' important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

'Set time' signifies the specific, ordained timing of God for His redemptive work.

The idea of a 'set time' is crucial in understanding God's plan for redemption. It indicates that God has a specific timeline for fulfilling His promises, which He has established due to His sovereign will. This concept is illustrated in scripture, where the coming of Jesus as the true Redeemer aligns perfectly with God's appointed time. Understood in this light, believers can rejoice knowing that their salvation and God's redemptive acts are conducted according to His schedule, free from human anxiety or haste. The certainty of God's plan assures us that He saves at the right time, as depicted in Job's longing for the appointed time and in Acts 13:48, where those ordained to eternal life believe when the gospel is preached.
