  Jeremiah 29:11 is a popular verse often quoted and relied on as a protection verse. Examined carefully it is not. Taken in context of the Biblical record we see that God’s John 1:12 family live far from harmless lives. Jesus Himself exemplified this, as did the apostles and disciples since. Consider the history of Christianity in your lifetime.

  “expected end” is the emphasize of Jeremiah 29:11.

  This truth coincides with Romans 8:28 in that all that happens to you and I contributes to the “expected end”. Our personal issue is whether we live in such faith agreeably with consent, or not.
