Eternity Past--Predestined:
"even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him.

Ephesians 1:4-6
Central--Cross:
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over former sins. It was to show His righteousness at the present time, so that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." Romans 3:23-26
Eternity Future--Destined
"Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world." John 17:24
