29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.
Ask yourself this question: does our Father know everyone? Is there anyone who has ever been that our Father did not know? Is there anyone who our Father did not know before they were born? We are told that our Father knows the hairs on everyones heads, Matthew 10:30. Te Bible tells us that our Father has to consent for even a bird to die, Matthew 10:29. The Truth is that all things exist for our Father, by our Father, and through our Father, Colossians 1:16. King David wrote that God, Who is our Father, knew everything that he was going to do before he ever was born, Psalm 139:16. Paul wrote that our Father decided to us him to preach to the Gentiles before he was even in His mother’s womb, Galatians 1:15. The Truth is that our Father knew us all, whether we accept Him in this life time or not, before He ever said let anything be.
What does all of this mean? It means that our Father has destined us all to be molded into the image of Jesus. Our Father would that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth, 1 Timothy 2:4. We are plainly told in the Word that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, Philippians 2:10. We also have the peace of knowing that were sin abounds, our Father’s grace much more abounds, Romans 5:20. Jesus has been given all flesh and He has been glorified to give eternal life to all that He has been given, John 17:2.
All people, except Judas, will spend eternity with Jesus, John 17:12. Some of us as His Bride and some as His guests, but all of us will be with Jesus for eternity, Matthew 22:11. The Truth is so plainly told to us over and over in our Father’s Word. Our Father has destined all that He knows to be conformed to be like Jesus and amen our Father knows everyone. Think about it, what shows us grace? A father favoring his own child, or a father favoring his enemy?
I ask You Father to please empower us to go and tell the world this glorious Truth. Grant to us the power and faith to not look at things with our physical eyes but through Your eyes. Allow us to boldly proclaim from the roof tops the Truth that will set the world free. Father I also ask that You remove all doubt from us and that Your glorify us with all knowledge and wisdom this day. Thank You Father and in the Name of Jesus rebuke the world and all that it has and is from Your servants.
