We Were Chosen Before the Beginning
We—you, me, all of us—were chosen in Christ long before Adam ever breathed.
Ephesians 1:4 says it plainly: “He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.”
That means God’s plan wasn’t a reaction to sin—it was a revelation of love. Our identity isn’t rooted in failure or recovery. It’s rooted in eternal design.
Our place in God’s family wasn’t earned in time—it was established in eternity.
Jesus isn’t the fix for Adam’s mistake. He is the eternal truth, the embodiment of the Father’s heart, reveals our place in Father’s house. His incarnation, life, death and resurrection aren’t about repairing a broken contract—they’re about unveiling a reality that was always true: We are beloved sons and daughters, made for intimate communion with the Trinity.
The Great Delusion Wasn’t Sin—It Was Forgetting Who We Are
The Fall didn’t change God’s heart toward humanity. It fractured our understanding of Him and of ourselves.
Adam and Eve didn’t stop being loved—they stopped believing they were. Their “sin” wasn’t disobedience, it was disillusionment—a fracture in identity. Shame, fear and exile didn’t come from God— they are the fruit of hiding.
They were never rejected, never disowned, never unwanted. Their place in the Trinitarian family was never revoked—because it was never conditional. Genesis 3 tells us the serpent’s first weapon was doubt—doubt in God’s goodness, doubt in their worth.
But God never changed His mind. “Nothing can separate us from the love of God.” Romans 8:38–39
The Fall wasn’t divine disownment. It was human amnesia and Jesus didn’t come to patch things up—He came to wake us from our slumber.
The Trinity: An Open Table
Adam and Eve’s inclusion in the family of the Trinity was never conditional. God—Father, Son, Spirit—is, by nature, relational fellowship. And that divine fellowship was never meant to be exclusive, we were always meant to be part of it.
This isn’t opinion—it’s the prayer of Jesus in John 17:21–23: “That they may be one, just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You...” Our place in God’s heart isn’t something we achieve—it’s something we receive, we were created for union, not separation.
Salvation isn’t a legal transaction—it’s a relational restoration, not a courtroom drama, but a family reunion, not earning a seat at the table, but realizing we never lost it.
Final Reflection: Love Was Never Plan B
God is love. Or better yet—LOVE is God and LOVE’s desire for us was never conditional, never reactionary, never uncertain. Before we doubted, before we wandered, LOVE had already made room for us.
Jesus is not heaven’s last-minute solution—He is the eternal Word made flesh, the embodied truth that we have always belonged. The gospel isn’t a cleanup story, it’s a wake-up call. It’s not about earning our way back in—it’s about remembering we were never out. It shifts the story from guilt to grace. From separation to belonging. From fear to freedom.
So we reject the lie that says we’re disqualified.
We silence the voice that says we’re unworthy.
We remember who we are: never disowned, never unwanted, never judged.
We are sons.
We are daughters.
And the door?
It was never closed.
Love ya,
Wag
