Why is the concept of 'due time' important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
'Due time' refers to the appointed moment in God's plan when Jesus achieved redemption and the Holy Spirit was sent to empower the ministry of the Gospel.
The phrase 'due time' signifies a fixed and appropriate moment in God's sovereign timeline. In Galatians 4:4, it is stated that when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son. This indicates that God's plan for the redemption of humanity was meticulously orchestrated and executed at a precise moment appointed by Him. The significance for Christians lies in the understanding that Christ's work and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit were both integral components of God's redemptive plan, ushering in a new era in which the Gospel would be preached to all nations. This timing reflects God's sovereignty and assurance that all events unfold according to His divine will.
