What does the Bible say about the foreknowledge of God?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that God's foreknowledge refers to His choice of certain individuals for salvation, reflecting His sovereignty and grace.

The term 'foreknowledge' is used primarily in connection with individuals rather than events or actions, as seen in Acts 2:23 and Romans 8:29. In these passages, it is evident that God’s foreknowledge is intimately tied to His electing grace; He knows and chooses specific persons to be conformed to the image of Christ. Rather than being a passive observation of who would choose Him, God’s foreknowledge is an active determination of whom He saves, emphasizing His sovereignty in salvation and the grace that He bestows upon His people.
