Romans 8:29-30 | The Unbreakable Chain of God's Purpose (Zach Fallon)

1. A People Foreknown (v. 29a)

• God’s saving purpose did not begin at conversion
• “Foreknew” carries covenantal love and relational choosing
• “Predestined” speaks of God determining a destination beforehand

2. A People Conformed (v. 29b)

• Conformity to Christ is the goal of salvation
• God is forming a family that resembles the Son
• Christ is the “firstborn among many brothers”
• Suffering is transformative in Romans 8

3. A People Glorified (v. 30)

• Called means God brings his people into the salvation he appointed
• Justified means God declares his people righteous in Christ
• Glorified means the end is certain
• No link in the chain breaks
