Long Before

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His love for us, His grace, His protection, favour and His great plan of salvation. The Bible tells us that:

Primary Text
“But [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot. It is true that He was chosen and foreordained (destined and foreknown for it) before the foundation of the world, but He was brought out to public view (made manifest) in these last days (at the end of the times) for the sake of you.” 1 Peter 1v19-20 (AMP)

Wow. God’s plan for our salvation, that Jesus would be the sacrificial lamb, was made before the world began. Hallelujah. There is a song that says “Before the world began, you were on His mind, and every tear you cry, Is precious in His eyes. Because of His great love, He gave His only Son. Everything was done so you would come. (Chorus) Come to the Father, though your gift is small, broken hearts, broken lives, He will take them all, the power of the word, the power of His blood, everything was done so you would come. (Verse 2) Nothing you can do, Could make Him love you more. And nothing that you’ve done, could make Him close the door. Because of His great love, He gave His only Son. Everything was done so you would come.” Why did Jesus die? For you and I and the world. God loves us so much that He had this plan in place so that we could be adopted into the family of God. What a glorious good news to tell to people.

Supplementary Text
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure.” Ephesians 13-5 (NLT)

Father, I thank You for Jesus in Jesus name, amen.
