“just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.”
Ephesians 1:4-6 NKJV
“And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.””
Matthew 19:4-6 NKJV
Before the foundation of this world, we were chosen that we should be holy and blameless, living before Him in our love for Him. Being predestined, adopted, and placed into His Beloved through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of His Will. His choosing is what keeps us and determines who we are according to His plan and purpose. Self-determination is rebellion and cannot bring acceptance. This is in the heart of all men and women, who are created in God’s image.
The importance of the beginning of all things is an essential spiritual truth, as Jesus refers to in this passage. The authorship, the origin, is the true source of defining a thing. Jesus not only is referring to what is written, but He is also confirming His witness of the beginning of creation. John writes of Him: in the beginning was the word, and the word was God, and the word was with God. He is speaking as the authority on this truth.
The unholy spirits being released in these days, that are determined to make what are absolutes into variables, are confronting all believers. The demonic spirit of transgenderism that is being promoted, primarily in our country, championed by the liberal agenda, is addressed by Jesus, defending the Holy absolute of marriage.
In these two passages, He refers the religious, so-called believers of His day, to the beginning — before the fall of man. First, it was not so, or it was not this way in the beginning. Second, He distinguishes them by making them male and female. Creating a man first then a woman, because it was not good for man to be alone. Third, He instituted the holy relationship of marriage, which is one man for one woman, becoming one, a unity designed for life. Fourth, a warning given by Jesus, “What God has joined together let no man separate.”
To say the least, the spirit that has been loosed since the 60s, the big bang theory and creation is not as Jesus said, “it is written,” but has led us to this time of self-determination. It is believing the lie, spoken by the Father of lies, Satan: You too can be as gods.
The same Pharisees that came to Jesus in the above verse, He addresses at another time:
“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, (nature) for he is a liar and the father of it.”
John 8:44 NKJV
For any believer, group, or church to, in any way, give any credence to this lie, is a denial of, as Jesus said, “It was not so at the beginning.” They have been deceived. For not only from the beginning, but we were in His mind before the foundation of the world. Halleujah!
