How do we know that God the Father trusted in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Ephesians 1:12 uniquely references God's trust in Christ, emphasizing a covenant made before creation.

The argument presented in the sermon outlines that the term 'trusted' in Ephesians 1:12 is a unique word found nowhere else in Scripture, underscoring the singular nature of God's trust in Christ. This word implies a completed action, emphasizing that God's trust in Christ was established before the foundation of the world in the covenant of grace among the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The theological significance of this trust is not just abstract; it is the foundation on which our salvation rests, showing that God the Father placed His elect in the hands of Jesus as their surety, demonstrating His complete confidence in Christ’s redemptive work.
