Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
John 8:58
Recommended Reading: John 8:48-59
Douglas McCready in He Came Down From Heaven wrote, “The doctrine of Christ’s preexistence did not result from theological curiosity or speculation. As early as the first decade of the church, Christians saw preexistence as necessary for understanding Christ’s person and significance of human salvation.”1
This means God the Son loves you so much He temporarily vacated the throne in heaven, took upon Himself humanity, accepted death on the cross, and rose to give you eternal life. That’s worth a lifetime of hallelujahs!
The doctrine of preexistence reminds us forcefully that God himself has entered into our circumstance in order to redeem and restore his human creatures along with the rest of his creation. This is the truth that gives meaning and power to Jesus’ affirmation that God so loved the world that he sent his Son to save it.
