Predestined, Called, Justified, and Glorified

Romans 8:29-30

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many bretheren, moreover whom He predestined, these He also called, whom He called, these He also justified, these He also glorified.

Power Points

  • God foreknows (to know before hand).
    Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Jeremiah 1:5
    Just as God foreknew Jeremiah, He foreknows us as well.

  • God predestines (to set apart for a particular use).
    You are not an accident or mistake. God had a particular purpose in mind for you before He created you.

  • God calls (command or request to come).
    God invites us to operate in His divine purpose that He has designed. Will you answer the call?

  • God justifies (to declare innocent or guiltless).
    Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. Romans 5:9
    We are justified by the blood of Jesus. We have the liberty to fully operate in our purpose.

  • God glorifies (to cause to be more splendid, excellent; to invest honor).
    If we are children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. Romans 8:17
    So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed. 1 Peter 5:1
    When God glorifies a human being, he grants to that person the privilege of beholding his infinite beauty and becoming like him as much as a creature can.


  • God is AWESOME...that's All I Know. -Tevin C. Jordan
