Bare with me i am learning your site..
Holding somewhat the same view as Grace 777.. here is my thoughts on your statement.. When i got it in my head/heart that the death of Christ Jesus was so important it appears to the be the center of God history.. The idea made His death and resurrection that much more in the forefront that much more pressing that much more vital.God was always going to send Jesus .. o what Grace what Mercy.. Amazing grace...

Herein is the plain teaching of the scriptures:
Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Act s16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
The question by the Philippian jailer is what to be saved? Paul ans Silas gave the answer.
So when did the jailer saved? Simply, when he believed Christ.

Guess i messed up my verbiage i do not see a strike through so i made the incorrect word light gray . What an Awesome God we serve.. . When was i saved ... before from the foundations of the world...
Rev_13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

It appears that different translations use different words... these scripture below say Christ was before the foundation of the world. At any rate I still love the fact that Jesus/ Father/Holy Spirit were thinking of us in their heart way before we came into being on this earth. It makes the whole plan of salvation and His death on the cross so alive of His love for me! I love it!
Ephesians 1:4 (NASB)
[SUP]4 [/SUP] just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love
Matthew 25:34 (NASB)
[SUP]34 [/SUP] "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Rom 5:18...."through one act of righteousness (Christ's doing & dying - a finished work) there resulted justification of life to all men."
"All men", through Christ's doing & dying, have been justified to eternal life.
Here's another one:
Titus 3:4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,5 He saved us (pass tense), not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,6 whom He poured out upon us richly in Jesus Christ our Savior,7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life...

I dont know how much it matters, tho. Jesus died for my sins and rose from the grave and paid my entrance into His kingdom, Praise the Lord, so before or from. ?... idk, His plan from eternity past...our inheritance for eternity now and ever. God's great grace.
