Being known by God is affirmed through Scripture, indicating that God knows His people intimately and distinctly.
The truth of being known by God is grounded in Scripture. For instance, 2 Timothy 2:19 states, 'The Lord knoweth them that are His,' underscoring God's intimate knowledge of His elect. This knowledge is distinct from mere awareness; it suggests a loving and purposeful relationship between God and His people. Furthermore, Romans 8:29 connects God's foreknowledge of us with His predestining purpose, confirming that those whom He knows will be called and justified. Thus, believers can rest in the assurance that God’s knowledge of them is not just cognitive but relational, shaped by grace and divine will.
