What does the Bible say about the foreknowledge of God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God's foreknowledge includes His sovereign election of a people according to His will and purpose.

In 1 Peter 1:2, we see that the elect are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father. This foreknowledge indicates an intimate relationship and purposeful selection by God. It emphasizes that God did not choose people based on their actions or merits but according to His own sovereign grace and will. As stated in the sermon, election is not a closed door to heaven but the only open door, affirming that our salvation is wholly dependent on God's initiative and mercy.
