Scripture clearly teaches that faith and unbelief, salvation and damnation, are not just the objects of God’s bare foreknowledge (i.e., the conduct of human beings) but especially also of God's will and decree. God’s foreknowledge (Rom. 8:29; 11:2; 1 Pet. 1:2; cf. Acts 2:23) is not some passive form of precognition, not some state of consciousness, but—as in the Hebrew in Hos. 13:5 , Amos 3:2—foreknowledge is a
self-determination of God, prior to its realization in history, to assume a certain specific relation to the objects of His foreknowledge. It is most closely related to God’s purpose, foreordination, and election, and is an act of his good pleasure.
