Salvation an Eternal Provision for Human Need
Ephesians 1:4
According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

It is this — salvation is an original thought and resolution. it is no novel expedient struck out in the fertility of Divine ingenuity, after God's first purpose in regard to man had failed through man's apostasy. It is no afterthought, but the embodiment of a design which, foreseeing our ruin, had made preparation for it.

(John Eadie, D. D.)
