(Rom 8:29) “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Note the predestination is based upon foreknowledge. Foreknowledge of what? Not, who you are, for He knows all people. The answer has to be foreknowledge that one would be moved by the cross and repent seeking forgiveness.
