Foreknowledge

God's knowing in advance — not just facts about the future but persons He chooses to know in covenant love

When Scripture says God "foreknew" His people (Romans 8:29, 1 Peter 1:2), the verb carries more than information — it carries relationship. God's foreknowledge is the basis of His electing love. Theologians debate the precise relationship between divine foreknowledge and human freedom, but Scripture treats both as real.
