START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 1 Peter 1:20
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
CHOSEN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD / 1 PETER 1:20
God’s plan of spiritual salvation was not just an afterthought, nor did it come to God only after the first humans chose to disobey God and needed rescue and restoration in relation to God. His plan was laid out even before creation or human history began (Revelation 13:8). The word translated “chosen” carries the meaning of God’s foreknowledge (1 Peter 1:2). God knew that in creating humans with free will – the ability to choose whether or not to love, obey and worship Him – that they would inevitably choose to go their own way and defy Him. So, he had already set in order the plan to rescue people from the final consequence of their sin – spiritual death and eternal separation from God – and to restore them to a right relationship with Him. That plan was for God Himself to make a personal sacrifice to cover the extreme penalty warranted by sin. Only He could provide a perfect means of spiritual salvation, which He did through His Son, Jesus Christ. At just the right time in human history (Romans 5:6; Galatians 4:4; Hebrews 9:26), God sent Christ into the world to finalize and fulfill His perfect plan of forgiveness, new life and an eternal relationship with God through faith in Christ.
