Predestination is that effective exercise of the will of God by which things before determined by Him are brought to pass. See Election,
(See Scofield "I Peter 1:2")
Foreknowledge, (See Scofield "I Peter 1:20")
adoption
Adoption (huiothesia, "placing as a son") is not so much a word of relationship as of position. The believer's relation to God as a child results from the new birth John 1:12,13 whereas adoption is the act of God whereby one already a child is, through redemption from the law, placed in the position of an adult son. Galatians 4:1-5.
The indwelling Spirit gives the realization of this in the believer's present experience Galatians 4:6 but the full manifestation of the believer's sonship awaits the resurrection, change, and translation of saints, which is called "the redemption of the body" ; Romans 8:23; I Thessalonians 4:14-17 ; Ephesians 1:14; I John 3:2.
