John 1:1-14

Listen to John 1:1-14
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being
4 in him was life, [a] and the life was the light of all people.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him.
8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light.
9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. [b]
10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him.
11 He came to what was his own, [c] and his own people did not accept him.
12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God,
13 who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, [d] full of grace and truth.

The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation, Part 3: Part 3: Was Jesus God's Backup Plan — or Was He the Plan All Along?
The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation, Part 3: Part 3: Was Jesus God's Backup Plan — or Was He the Plan All Along?
Dr. Abel Damina

What if the cross wasn't God's emergency response to sin — but His plan from the very beginning? In this episode of Reintroducing Jesus, Beyond Religion, Dr. Abel Damina teaches that "redemption is not an afterthought" and that "Jesus has been the plan before man was created." Walking through Romans 8, he shows that God's foreknowledge of us always came before His predestination for us — meaning God "does not react," He "proacts" in love, giving up His Son ahead of time, for all. You'll walk away seeing that your salvation was never plan B, and that God's love for you was settled long before religion ever tried to explain it.
