The Foreknowledge of God

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:
May grace and peace be multiplied to you. (1 Peter 1:1-2 ESV)

We live one moment at a time. Have you ever try to comprehend how it would be like if you are able to live simultaneously yesterday, today and tomorrow? It is incomprehensible. We do not have the channels to accept and respond to such data.

Try explaining to a blind man what the rainbow it like. Try to explain to the deaf how beautiful a certain song is. They cannot understand you. They have to take what you told them by faith.
God, who can live simultaneously in the past, present and future, tell us in the Bible that everything happened according to the foreknowledge of God, but we have free will. Let us accept that by faith.

Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. (Ecclesiastes 9:11 ESV)
