Augustine taught God's foreknowledge. "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's attribute of foreknowledge includes all things. His foreknowledge has to do with all his people in Christ. God foreknew us in Christ. God foreknew His relationship with each one of us. We are foreknown as justified and glorified in Christ (Romans 8:28-30).
God's foreknowledge includes our salvation, yet that does not remove the command for all people to repent (Acts 17:30). God foreknew 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 foreknew us in Christ as his people. That includes our calling, gifting, and service (Ephesians 1:4-6; 2:10).
