The Plan Before Time: Eternal Redemption

Ephesians 1:4 Even before he made the world, God loved us

and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.

5 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. - (NLT)

2 Timothy 1:9 For God saved us and called us to live a holy

life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that

was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his

grace through Christ Jesus. - (NLT)

Revelation 13:8 And all the people who belong to this world

worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not

written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was

slaughtered before the world was made.
