"He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God."
The Son (the Lamb) was known by the Father before time. It was their intent, from before the beginning, for the Lamb to sacrifice Himself for man. Now, the Lamb has come. He has come for those who would believe in God. When the Lamb came, He was sacrificed for our sins. But God raised Him from the dead and "gave him glory." He did this so that we would have faith and hope in God.
Without the sacrifice, we could have faith, but it would be without hope. I have a confidence in Christ, the Lamb, who had died and is alive in glory.
