Bible Note: In Rom 8:29, Paul stated that "whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (30) Moreover, WHOM he did predestinate, THEM he also called: and whom he called, THEM he also justified: and whome he justified, THEM he also glorified. (31) What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Personal pronouns are important. You will notice, Paul didn't say "what" He foreknew. Paul said "whom" He forknew. This language is similar to what Christ will say at the Great White Throne judgment. "Depart from me ye workers of iniquity, I never KNEW you." The foreknowledge in this verse is not a mere knowledge God has of future events. It is a loving relationship that He has for His elect. Through the fall, we are unable to come to God (I Cor. 2:14). However, by His grace, He has chosen to save some. Thank the Lord you and I are among that group. God bless. |
