Foreknown for the Sake of Exiles

Christ was foreknown before the foundation of the world and came in the flesh for the sake of His people who are exiles in this world. As a result, we can place our “faith and hope” in God. In this message, Dr. Stephen Nichols considers 1 Peter 1:20–21 and how all of history, in God’s providence, is directed toward fulfilling God’s ends for His glory.
