Yet, it says that Jesus died on the Cross for the sins of the world before man was yet created!
It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them.
And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not
been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
Revelation 13:7-8

While it is a small thing that some might think to call it trivial yet to say that life is created is to say that there was no living thing prior to the waters bringing forth the moving creature that had life. Yet the waters upon the earth were void of life until the Spirit of God walked upon the waters.
Genesis 1
1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
20And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse
of the sky.” 21So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters
teemed according to their kinds, and every winged bird after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
23And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

Yeah but how does He know the end from the beginning ? Isaiah wrote more to that Isa 46:10
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
So be more explanative on how its God Nature to know all things, Thanks

Saving grace is what initially saved you from Hell.
That is saving grace.
Enabling grace is what enables us to walk in enabling power to fulfill God's will for our lives.
1 John 1:9 - The Greek is not confession as we know it.
The word can mean to acknowledge one's sins.
To admit your sins to God.
Why so?
When we recognize something as a sin?
Something that God calls a sin?
We then agree with God!
Our post salvation experience should be one of learning how to constantly be controlled by the Spirit.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25
grace and peace!

Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?

why would you rip the book of Job out of your Bible?
It appears to me that it was satan who was trying to prove God was wrong in His statement about Job.
satan utterly failed in his attempts to prove that Job was not blameless and upright man, a man who fears God, and shuns evil as God said in Job 1:8.
God was correct ... satan was his usual evil self - he was and still is the accuser of the brethren (Rev 12:10).

You just contradicted yourself.
God made a wager with Satan. God allowed Satan to challenge Job's commitment to his faith in God.
God allowed Satan to do almost all that he wished in testing Job. Except Satan could not kill Job.
He did this so he could win a bet against Satan. And therein prove Job's faith was unshakable.
