1 Peter 1:20

“He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you.” This verse is talking about Jesus’s sacrifice for us. The verse before this one says. “Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” It is saying that before God created the world He had chosen Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. God wasn’t surprised by Adam and Eve sinning. He knew they would turn against Him, and He knew every mistake we would make before He made us. So why did He? Why would God make us when He knew His Son would have to die for us? I find this verse to be a great reminder of how much God loves us. It reminds me that God knows everything we do, every mistake we would make before we make it, and yet He loved us so much that He saw us as worth the sacrifice. Remember to be thankful for the great gift God has given us, and don’t waste it.
