Those He Called

Romans 8:29-30 (NIV)

29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Those who heed His call and come to Him are predestined to conform with the “purpose of His will”. We are being transformed into the image of Christ to glory of God. This is the “plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will.”

Ephesians 1:11-12 (NIV)

11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according "to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
