He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto Him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. John 21:16
The bible says, God chose you and knew you even before the foundations of the world (Ephesians 1:4).
For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight in love. Ephesians 1:4
God knew everything about you and still chose to create this world and create you in it. He knew how you would look, He knew what your name would be and He knew everything about you. He also knew that you will not obey Him and will not walk in holy ways. Did you know God knew He will come down in the form of a man and He will be mocked, people will spit on Him, beat His body so that very form or the visage changes and finally He will be forsaken alone on a cross. God knew He had to go through this if He creates you. God could have chosen not to create you or the rest of the mankind. But, God created you as He loved you the same way He loves you today even before the foundations of the world. That is what God means, “He ‘knew’ us before the foundations of the world”. This is God and His love for you and me, for the people of the world.
