Christ is central to God's eternal purpose, as He is the channel through which grace and salvation are realized.
In the grand narrative of God's purpose, Jesus Christ stands at the center. He is described as the conduit of grace, through whom all blessings are bestowed upon believers. In Ephesians 1:3-6, we see that every spiritual blessing is found in Christ, emphasizing that salvation, redemption, and acceptance with God are exclusively through Him. Moreover, God's eternal purpose is fundamentally tied to the work of Christ—His incarnation, sacrificial death, and resurrection fulfill the plan of salvation that God ordained before the foundation of the world. Christ's preeminence in God's purpose assures us that our hope and righteousness are found solely in Him, and it is through His blood that we have redemption and are justified before God.
