What does it mean that God sets up redemption before we are born?

Answered in 1 source

It signifies God's sovereignty and foreknowledge in orchestrating salvation for His chosen people.

The statement that God establishes redemption before we are born highlights the sovereignty and foreknowledge of God in His plan of salvation. Just as the laws of redemption were set before Naomi and Ruth ever existed, God's redemptive covenant was planned before the foundation of the world. This underscores the idea that salvation is not an afterthought or a result of human action but is rooted in God's eternal purpose. Believers are reassured that their redemption is secure and that God actively works in His providence to bring His elect into a saving relationship with Him. This illustrates the profound grace and mercy of God, showing that all aspects of salvation are designed for His glory.
