I guess I would say that from God’s perspective (outside time) He already was the Christ because He was absolutely going to be the Christ. From within time and the human perspective, sure, He wasn’t the Christ yet. No, I don’t have a verse that says point-blank, “God gave Him the title “Christ” before the foundation of the world.” But I do think that all the scriptures I have cited, including the one in Revelation about “slain from the foundation of the world” and the ones in 1 Cor and Col., with their contexts, all point to the idea that at the time of Creation He was the Christ in the mind of God, and that “all things” were created by and for Him.
