How do we know that God has a plan for our salvation?

The divine plan for salvation is established in Scripture as God’s sovereign decree, evidenced in passages such as Ephesians 1:4-5, where Paul speaks of being chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. This eternal perspective is crucial as it assures us that salvation is not an afterthought for God, but a planned purpose that unfolds in history. In the same way that Jesus operated according to His divine timetable in John 7, we can trust that God's plans for salvation through Christ are perfectly orchestrated. This provides believers with hope and assurance of God's fidelity to His promises throughout redemptive history.
