Foreknew

rather God chose you to have a
relationship with you before time
began.
You Are God’s Choice

me, saying, “Before I formed you in
the womb I knew you, and before
you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the
nations.”

Even as he chose us in him before
the foundation of the world, that we
should be holy and blameless
before him. In love, he predestined
us for adoption as sons through
Jesus Christ, according to the
purpose of his will, to the praise of
his glorious grace, with which he
has blessed us in the Beloved.
Predestined
Predestination- God in His eternal
timetable chose you, wants a
relationship with you, AND has a
plan for you.
You are Predestined to be joint
heirs with Jesus Christ
Holy Spirit- Paraclete
Parakletos (Greek Definition):
Called along side to help, counsel,
advise, and advocate
John 14:16-17
And I will ask the Father, and he
will give you another Helper, to be
with you forever, even the Spirit of
truth, whom the world cannot
receive, because it neither sees

for he dwells with you and will be in
you.
