What does it mean to say salvation is done from eternity?

Answered in 1 source

To say salvation is done from eternity means that all aspects of salvation were planned and secured by God before time began.

The phrase 'done from eternity' signifies that all works related to the salvation of God's people were completed before time was initiated. Hebrews 4:3 reinforces this by stating that the works were finished from the foundation of the world. This teaches that God's plan of salvation was established within His sovereign purpose, ensuring that all things come to pass according to His will. Salvation, then, is not a reaction to human decisions or conditions but rather a manifestation of God's eternal decree realized in time when He calls His elect to experience His grace (Romans 8:28-30). This understanding invites believers to rest in the security that their salvation is grounded in God's eternal promise.
