Before the world fell

Ephesians 1:4 The Shepherd's Selection says that "..He chose us in Him,before the founding of the world, to be holy and unblemished before Him, in love.

The Greek: Kataboles * before the world fell into sin.

Previous in time and order, He selected us, for a very specific task and purpose, very selfishly, because He wanted us for Himself, to be prized and valued by Him. And because He chose us, He created a place for us.

We have to stop snacking on the fruit of the "I am not tree". We feel as if we are

unworthy that we don't have what it takes. When we look at our reflection all we see is

all the mistakes we have made.We were not some afterthought. God didn't think oh maybe I should perhaps create something to rule over all the animals on the earth. He had planned us before the world fell into sin. He thinks we are perfect in every way.

Many people think we must always come repentant before Him because we are always messing up. The amazing thing is "The Blood of Jesus it filters everything( It purifies)." The results being ...When God looks at you He sees nothing undesirable. He only sees what is pure & valuable to Him. It's time to walk in the confidence and authority that He has given us.

"God found us in Christ before He lost us in Adam."

God associated us in Christ before the fall of the world. God made up His mind about us

before Adam fell. The implications of the fall are Cancelled. He sees us through the purified filter. God gave everything to purchase us back ( John 3:16)

We are a precious gem to Him .

The whole purpose of creation was us.

It is time we start living out our lives based on this truth.
