Christ was the power of God manifested in the flesh which lived among people. Jesus is described in John as the Word. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1”. Jesus always existed. He is the everlasting God. Isaiah 43:13 says, “Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?” “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” John 10:28. What that tells us is that God has called many to be saved and no one can take away the free gift of salvation from us, our salvation lies in the hand of God. We don’t know for sure if we are predestined to salvation but God knows when or if we will be saved. Salvation is a super national act of God and why Jesus died on the cross for our sins. It’s also great news that Jesus rose from the dead as only God could do that. Amen
