Chosen In Christ 3

Hello Everyone,

WE WERE CHOSEN IN CHRIST BEFORE THE WORLD

Ephesians 1:11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.

Ephesians 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.

“Before the world”. What was before the world?

Many people would say, “Before the world there was nothing!” WRONG! Before the world was GOD!

Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God....”

John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”

Before planet earth and the whole universe existed, there was God! Before everything existed, there was God!

It’s hard for most people to wrap their minds around that idea but it’s true. God has always existed. He is from everlasting to everlasting. He has no beginning and no end.

Ephesians 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.

God knew us all before we were ever born. Do you realize this? He knew us before we were formed in our mother’s womb. How amazing is that?! How could this be? Because He is God who knows all, sees all, and is limitless in POWER.

How could God choose us to be His children before we were born?

He knew man would sin and would need a Savior so He planned to send Jesus before mankind came into existence.

We were chosen in Christ before the world began in the sense that God knew we would choose Jesus as our Savior.

But God’s plan started before earth and man came into existence.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
