Before The Foundation of the World - Part 1
As I was studying for my teaching tonight, I was researching the scriptures regarding "before the foundation of the world." Let’s discuss these scriptures today for our Pearls of Wisdom.
The Lord wanted to reassure each of us that all was in place before we were ever created, before the world was even created, before God Almighty stood up, stepped out and said: Light, be. And Light was. As we all know, the Light was God Himself, Love Himself, Who released what was inside Him by His spoken Word for His beloved man that He was going to create. What a God we have as our Father. He is our everything. He is our all in all. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present with us. And the best part of it is that HE LOVES US. He places no prerequisites on His love for us as we human beings sometimes want to do to others in our lives. He loves us, unconditionally, just the way we are.
Are you ready to see what God has provided for you before He even created your world that you live in, before He created you?
When Jesus was speaking to the people, He spoke in parables, revealing things that had been hidden until that time. He uttered things that had been hidden since the foundation of the world. No one had heard them until He spoke them. These were truths from heaven’s throne, carried in heaven’s Son, Jesus Christ and spoken out of His mouth. And like today, there were those who did not understand what He had spoken because they are perceived by the Spirit of God.
Matthew 13:34,35 Amplified Bible These things all taken together Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, without a parable He said nothing to them. This was in fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet: I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things that have been hidden since the foundation of the world.
The Kingdom of God has been prepared for us from the foundation of the world. God has reserved for us the understanding of His way of doing things, of the way He operates since the foundation of the world.
Matthew 25:34 Amplified Bible
Then the King will say to those at His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God and appointed to eternal salvation], inherit (receive as your own) the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
The Father loved Jesus before the foundation of the world. Then, by logical conclusion, He loved us before the foundation of the world.
John 17:24 Amplified Bible
Father, I desire that they also whom You have entrusted to Me [as your gift to Me] may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory, which You have given Me [Your love gift to Me]; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
The Father chose us as His own before the foundation of the world. He chose all of us and then we have to decide whether we accept His choosing us. What a disappointment the Father must sense when one of the human beings He has created do not choose Him as their Father.
Ephesians 1:4,11 Amplified Bible
Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.
In Him we also were made [God’s] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed before hand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will,
