In this episode we will look at God's plan of redemption that He tells us was already established before the world and we were created.  How does God explain and use foreknowledge and predestination in Ephesians chapter 1?  What does it mean when scripture tells us that Jesus was the life that existed in the Word in the beginning?  Did you know that God says Jesus was the first creation of God?  We will also point out how God explains the statement "By grace you have been saved through faith, it is the gift of God, not of yourselves ..."  Many people don't understand the context of this verse as well as what it means to be sealed (or marked) with the Holy Spirit of God.  They might be familiar with the single verse that has been proclaimed to them, but are unaware of the verses surrounding these statements that gives us the context to have true understanding from God.
