Whom He Did Foreknow

Summary

The sermon explores Romans 8:29-30, focusing on the concept of 'foreknow' as an intimate, loving relationship rather than mere awareness. It explains the five key steps of salvation: foreknow, predestinate, called, justified, and glorified, emphasizing that God's salvation plan is purposeful and successful for a particular group—the elect. The preacher contrasts God's infinite knowledge with His intimate oneness with His people, highlighting that foreknown refers to those predestined for glory and eternal relationship with God. This intimate foreknowledge is foundational to salvation and God's love, culminating in the believer's conformity to Christ and glorification.
