YOU Were Known to God Before the Beginning of Time

[Dingleberry]

Crazy but true. God knew each of us even before Adam and Eve were created. Even before the creation of everything! How can that be?

God is not just of all time, He is eternal. What's the difference? Eternity cannot be measured in time. And it is beyond our brains to comprehend fully. God existed prior to Genesis 1:1. There is no linear timeline to explain this. Maybe I'll explain it thru Scriptures in another thread.

But YOU were known to God even way back then! How amazing is that? And how tragic that so many deny God as their Creator and Savior.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,
That we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.

- Ephesians 1:3-4


God is with you and knows you better than you can even begin to understand. That should be an amazing comfort. And it should be inspiration to strive to not let Him down.

God cooked up a racist Floridian before the beginning of time?

God cooked up Hitler. Wrap your head around that!

I mean, that one I get.

He must have been trying to save Europe from Communism.

God cooked up Hitler. Wrap your head around that!

But what Hitler (or anyone for that matter) became was solely on Hitler. Free will is God's greatest gift and curse.

Very true.

However, and this is a mind bend, God KNEW what Hitler would do before the beginning of time. This does not contradict free will. It's just the God knew and knows what each person will do with their lives all along.

True.

Though, I wonder if He choose to not know. That tiny spark of humanity (since God is so beyond all of that) making him want to see it all play out without using any cheat codes.
