As for justification from eternity, here Kuyper took up a clearly minority position within the history of Reformed theology. Here also is where his supralapsarianism had indeed “gone to seed” (something that can be traced in certain other Reformed supralapsarians as well). Simply stated, justification from eternity means that “the sinner’s justification need not wait until he is converted, nor until he has become conscious, nor even until he is born.”30
