God's attributes include foreknowledge. God foreknows us in Christ. God foreknows all things. His foreknowledge has to do with all His people in Christ. God has foreknown His people in Christ. God foreknows His relationship with each one of us. We are foreknown as justified and glorified in Christ (Romans 8:28-30).
Augustine taught that God's people are foreknown 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 foreknows us in Christ, yet that does not remove the command for all people to repent (Acts 17:30). God foreknows us in Christ through a personal relationship, yet that does not dismiss our responsibility. We are responsible for our choices. We must repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the gospel (1 Peter 1:2; 2 Peter 1:10).
God foreknows us in a personal relationship through Christ. All of us are foreknown through the eternal covenant with Christ, the great Shepherd (Hebrews 13:20-21). God's foreknowledge includes all things to the least detail. God foreknows us in Christ as his people. That includes our calling, gifting, and service (Ephesians 1:4-6; 2:10).
