Hope in the Father Who Chose Us (Ephesians 1:4–5)Before the foundation of the world, God had a plan. Salvation was not an afterthought—it was foreknown, predetermined, and rooted in His grace.Chosen in Christ before creation (Eph. 1:4–5)Foreknown before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:18–20)Delivered according to God’s definite plan (Acts 2:23)Called by grace before the ages began (2 Timothy 1:9–10)God’s heart is clear: He desires all people to be saved (1 Timothy 2:3–4). He is not willing that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9).Salvation is offered to all. Christ died for all. Yet only those who respond to the Holy Spirit in faith receive adoption into God’s family.This is not random. This is not accidental. This is the eternal love of a sovereign Father.
