What does it mean that God knows those who are His?

Answered in 1 source

God knowing His people signifies His eternal commitment and assurance of salvation for the elect.

The statement that 'God knows them that are His' conveys not just recognition but an intimate and everlasting relationship with His elect. This understanding is deeply rooted in the doctrine of election, illustrating that God chose individuals before the foundation of the world to be a part of His family. As God engraves His chosen ones on the palms of Christ's hands, He ensures their safety and preservation. This knowledge gives believers confidence that they will never be lost, as referenced in John 10:28, where Christ promises that His sheep cannot be taken from His hand.
