Not a Fix—A Revelation

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

Change - Dreaded or Embraced?

He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’” Luke 5:36-39 ESV   There has been a lot of discussion about “Change” lately, especially during the resent presidential campaign and upcoming presidency. A recent Twitterer asked the following   question – “ What is your opinion about change? ” and I quickly answered, “ Change is a necessary element to fullness of life, without it we grow stagnant... ”. As I was pondering my response I decided to see what God would have to say about this discussion.   Here is my conclusion: Change is an absolute! With out it, we will in...

Are You A Sojourner?

For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened--not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 2Corinthians 5:1-4 ESV   How are you living? Is your focus only upon the tangible, the stuff that you can grab hold of or are you living with the absolute awareness of a promised future – one that begins in the here and now but goes on into eternity? Are you a sojourner?   Sojourner – 1. a temporary resident 2. a person who resides temporarily in a place – “A TRAVELER”   Paul lived “in” the assurance of his hope… immortal glory. Many don’t like to discuss death; I get that the idea of dying can be s...

God Is Excited About You And Your Future!

I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope. Jeremiah 29:11 We have all read or heard stories about those who have chosen to die for the glory of God and we think to ourselves “Wow! I wonder if I could stand even in the face of death”. But what about “continuing on” in the face of tragedy or out-of-our-control circumstances? What about trusting God in all things - even when they make not one bit of sense to us? I believe it is easier to choose immediate death for the glory of God than to keep the faith in the wake of life’s turmoil. Remember Todd Beamer, the hero who helped over-through the hijackers during the 9/11 attacks? Many have marveled at his wife Lisa, whose strength and ability to carry on after the tragic loss of her husband, was quite inspiring to say the least. Through it all she has adamantly given all the credit to God for her strength and peace. Several years ago - Lisa ...
