foreordained

The divine order is foreknowledge, election, predestination. That foreknowledge determines the election or choice is clear from (1 Peter 1:2) and predestination is the bringing to pass of the election. "election looks back to foreknowledge; predestination forward to the destiny." But Scripture nowhere declares what it is in the divine foreknowledge which determines the divine election and predestination. The foreknown are elected, and the elect are predestinated, and this election is certain to every believer by the mere fact that he believes (1 Thessalonians 1:4); (1 Thessalonians 1:5).

See Predestination. ( See Scofield) - (Ephesians 1:5).
