“When the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son…” There were at least four major areas of preparation for the coming of Jesus – religious, cultural, political, & personal. God had a perfect plan of salvation through His Son, Jesus before the foundations of the earth. There were appointed and exact times for the fulfillment of His plan. He did all this so that we could be adopted as His children and become heirs to the riches of Jesus!
