“who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,”
2 Timothy 1:9 KJV
Christ rescued the integrity of our original design and revealed that we have always been His own from the beginning, even before time was. This has nothing to do with anything we did to qualify or disqualify ourselves. We are not talking religious good works or karma here. Jesus unveils grace to be the eternal intent of God! Grace celebrates our pre-creation innocence and now declares our redeemed union with God in Christ Jesus. This is the life of the ages that was anticipated for generations; the life of our original design announced by the infallible resolve of God before time or space existed. Mankind’s union with God is the original thought that inspired creation. There exists a greater dimension to eternity than what we are capable of defining within the confines of space and time! God’s faith anticipated the exact moment of our redeemed union with Him for all eternity! This life was made certain before eternal time. Jesus took death out of the equation and re-defined life - this is good news indeed. Jesus is what grace reveals! Amen!
