What was "PREDESTINED" - Before the Foundation of the World?


Before the foundation of the world, God had predetermined and finished His work of redeeming you and I.  That by Faith, these predetermined truths would be manifest to us in Christ...

Before the foundation of the world, God existed (Gen 1:1) and Christ was with God and Christ was God (John 1:1-14).

Before the foundation of the world, Christ was foreordained as a lamb without blemish, without spot (1 Pet 1:19-20), and was slain (Rev 13:8). 

Before the foundation of the world, grace was given in Christ (2 Tim 1:9) and God promised the hope of eternal life according to faith and acknowledgement of truth (Tit 1:1-2).

Before the foundation of the world, God chose those in Christ to be holy and without blame before Him in love (Eph 1:3-12).

Before the foundation of the world, God ordained certain Wisdom to those who love Him, through the giving of the Spirit and withheld this wisdom from the rulers of Paul’s age otherwise they would not have crucified Christ (1 Cor 2:6-16).

Before the foundation of the world, God’s works were finished (Heb 4:3).
