God's attributes include foreknowledge. God foreknew his people in Christ. God foreknew all things. His foreknowledge has to do with all His people in Christ. God foreknew all His people in Christ. God foreknew His relationship with each one of us (Jeremiah 1:5). God foreknew us as justified and glorified in Christ (Romans 8:28-30).
Augustine taught that God foreknows us in Christ: "Since only One foreknows, only One knows that number and can already name them by name, not because this is already decreed by universal foreordination, but because God's knowing is contemporary with every moment in time, including future moments with all their contingencies."
God foreknew us in Christ, yet that did not remove the command for us to repent (Acts 17:30). God foreknew us in Christ through a personal relationship, yet that did not dismiss our responsibility. We are responsible for our choices. We repented and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the gospel (1 Peter 1:2; 2 Peter 1:10).
God foreknew us in a personal relationship through Christ. All believers are foreknown through the eternal covenant with Jesus our great Shepherd (Hebrews 13:20-21). God's foreknowledge includes all things to the least detail. God foreknew us in Christ as his people. That includes our calling, gifting, and service (Ephesians 1:4-6; 2:10).
