What does the Bible say about foreknowledge?

Answered in 2 sources

Foreknowledge in the Bible refers to God's intimate knowledge and love for His elect, not just a cognitive awareness of future events.

In biblical terms, foreknowledge transcends mere knowledge of future events; it signifies God's profound love and personal relationship with His chosen people. Romans 8:29 outlines that those whom God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. This suggests that God's foreknowledge is closely tied to His intention of lovingly calling and transforming His selected ones, ultimately reflecting His divine purpose and affection. Thus, understanding foreknowledge involves recognizing it as an expression of God's intimacy and commitment to His people rather than merely a passive awareness of their future decisions.
