Ephesians 1:3-5, "Praise be to the GOD and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ Who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In Love He predestined us to be adopted as his sons (and daughters), in accordance with His pleasure and will."
GOD is All-Knowing. He has always been, He is, and He always will be! Therefore He has always known who will accept His salvation in Jesus Christ and who will reject His salvation in Jesus Christ. There are many Scriptures in the Bible where He proclaims this:
Mark 13:20, "...for the sake of the elect who He has chosen..."
John 13:18, "Jesus says, 'I know those I have chosen"
John 15:16, Jesus again says, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you."
John 15:19, Jesus declares, "I have chosen you out of the world."
II Thessalonians 2:13, "From the beginning GOD chose you."
Colossians 1:12, "The Father qualified you."
I Peter 1:2, "(Those) who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of GOD the Father."
Romans 8:30, "Those He (GOD) predestined, He also called; those He called He also justified; those He justified, He also sanctified."
Do you want to know if you are predestined of GOD? If you have already accepted Jesus' death on the Cross for your sins, you already know this. If you haven't accepted the only sacrifice for your sins, you can accept Him now and you will then realize your predestination to be forevermore with our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD! GOD already knows, do you?
Isaiah 53:5 foretells Jesus, "He (Jesus) was pierced for our transgressions, He (Jesus) was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought our peace (of salvation) was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed (saved)." Romans 4:25 and I Peter 2:24-25 verifies Isaiah
