When did God accomplish redemption for us, and with what knowledge?

Les explains that this redemption and our position in Christ come through His blood, and that cannot be ignored. Forgiveness of sins is not earned but is according to His grace. He notes this is beyond human comprehension: God did all this before we came on the scene, with the foreknowledge that we would one day be His, in Him, redeemed, and forgiven. Les also stresses redemption is not a Pauline invention; it goes back to the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were His and fellowshiped with Him daily, but sin entered and He lost them, because He could not fellowship with them in their sin. God went into the Garden asking, “Where art thou?” to show their separation; Adam should have answered, “We’re lost.”
