Today's Devotion:
365 Daily Devotions: Seminary Edition
💁🏻 Concept: Foreknowledge
In Scripture, foreknowledge is not just God knowing facts about people in advance. It’s relational and personal—God setting His love upon certain individuals before creation, choosing them for salvation. This truth is closely connected to the doctrine of election. It reminds us that our salvation is not random or earned, but rooted in God’s eternal love and sovereign grace. He knew us intimately and lovingly, even before we were born.
📖 Bible Readings: Romans 8:29-30
(1 Peter 1:1-2; Jeremiah 1:5; Ephesians 1:4-5; Psalm 139:13-16; John 10:14-15)
👨🏻💻 Teachings:
1. God’s foreknowledge is not just fore-knowing but also fore-loving.
2. God’s fore-loving is the basis of Ordo Salutis (Foreknew, predestined, called, justified, glorified).
3. God’s covenant relationship with us began from the eternal heart of God.
💪🏼 Applications:
1. Trust God’s unbreakable chain of redemption.
2. Rest in God’s unconditional love for us.
3. Extend the same unconditional love to others.
🎙Discussion:
How can you practically extend the unconditional love of God to others?
🙏🏼 Prayer:
Father in heaven, thank You for loving me before I was even born. You didn’t just know facts about me—You knew me deeply, personally, and chose me out of grace. I’m amazed that my salvation is not random or earned, but rooted in Your eternal love. When I struggle or feel unworthy, remind me that I am Yours because You willed it long before time began. I praise You for Your love and unbreakable chain of salvation. Help me rest in that unshakable love and extend it to others, even when it's hard. Let my life reflect the joy of being fully known and fully loved. In Jesus’ name, amen.
