He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
Yet we cannot fathom what God has done, from beginning to end. Let that sink in - what God has done, past tense. It is already done, accomplished, He has already saved each and every man He is going to save (Hebrews 9:12). It is fact that when God chose His Elect before the foundation of the world He put them in Christ, it is a done deal, God has it rigged! Jesus Christ is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8), those whom God chose were placed in Christ, also from the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). Jesus Christ died a substitutionary death for those who were placed in Him - He died in our place! He did NOT die for those who were NOT chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.
As I wrote in Bible Truth #328, when God created time and every event that would transpire within history, He created the beginning, middle and the end - it is ALL history to God. And every event that has taken place, or will take place in the future, has already occurred as God sees it from eternity. This is why those chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world will be saved in history. They, and they alone, will be drawn, they shall come to Christ (John 6:37), and Christ will raise them up (John 6:44).
We become children of God NOT by human decision (John 1:13). It’s God’s decision and He made it before the foundation of the world. (Ephesians 1:4)
