Let’s think about Titus 1:2 … “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.”

Did I just read that God “promised” … ETERNAL LIFE … “before the world began?”

Scant information within itself, yet thrilling!

Before death ever came (due to sin) … God had the Remedy.

In promising eternal life, as a gift presumably since God needs no financial bolstering, the Lord is merely giving of Himself!

After all … “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 33:27

Wow!

But now … look … God not only promised eternal life before time began (the meaning of the noun “world” is “ages upon ages, unending ages”) … God also devised the Means of giving eternal life!

Peter one day long ago, writing his first Epistle, taught us about Jesus: “The precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.” 1 Peter 1:19-20

“Before the foundation of the world!”

Yes, Eternal Life … in God’s Mind before the world (ages) began!

And yes, Jesus the Saviour, dying for you and me, also in God’s Mind before the world began!

Hallelujah!

— Dr. Mike Bagwell

Again I say … before we knew we had the deadly (sin) Problem … God had the Perfect (Jesus) Solution!

Glory to His Name!
