The Father in his all knowing foreknowledge knows before hand just who will actually remain faithful to Christ. But he also knows those who will fall away and love the world more in the long run. We do not know who these persevering saints are. But only the father. I like what A.W.Pink says in his commentary on Hebrews. That it is a false teaching to believe that all those who profess Christ will be saved. Rather it is only those who actually persevere in the faith that can claim they are chosen of God the Father.pg 605,par 2 and on.

Pink also believed that God chose who would persevere; your use of him is contrary to your own purposes. None of us believes that all professing believers will be saved, but only those who are true believers; and those who are true believers will persevere to the end by the grace of God.
