Man is confined in time, all we know is the present. We have a memory of the past and a hope for the future. God on the other hand is not. Even the future for Him is already history. He's seen it all happen. But with man, history unfolds before him one day at a time.
Take this as an example, you were on your way home and you are thinking on what to prepare for dinner. You like veggies so you were thinking whether Talong or Okra. But God knew you actually bought Sitaw and had Adobong Sitaw for dinner.
That is why with regard to God, He already know who are His and who are not. But with man, he has to make his choices everyday whether to follow God, that is to be spiritual, or to follow his own desires, that is to be carnal. To be spiritual is life, and to be carnal is death. So whether we obeyed the Gospel or not, with God it's already a thing of the past. But with us, we don't know that. Except that today we know that we have to obey Christ and live by faith every day as it comes.
So if you ask yourself, am I saved or not? It is really our decision to choose Life! BUt GOD already saw the race of life and He saw each one of us, which ones who finished and which ones who did not.
In the book of Genesis, God saw everything that He had made and saw it was good. I believe that GOD saw even farther into the future and saw everything and He found all to be really worth it, to let the Son to suffer and die on the cross, to pay the price for all creation, because it all turned out very good.
A man made program cannot do what it is not told. It is confined to and cannot go out of its written code. But God is really greater than man because when God made man, He created him as a free being. But although we were created to have a life of our own, God still gets the results according to to what He has purposed.
So it is not really wise to ask what if Judas didn't betray Jesus because that is what actually happened. However, we can ask ourselves now what if we don't follow Jesus. But whatever choices we are caught in betwixt, God already knew the choices that we actually made.
