The Order Of Salvation's Application - Romans 8: 28 - 30

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.” (Romans 8:28–30, ESV)

The order of salvation or what has been historically called the Ordo Salutis may seem like an unnecessary discussion; however, much ambiguity is dispelled when one considers in detail what salvation actually involves and what components necessarily precede others. Much of the confusion in modern faith life stems from a largely uninformed community who is unaware that the act of salvation has an orthodox formula. Not that salvation is obtained in a “cook book” fashion but rather that what God purposes to accomplish in salvation has been aptly described in the Ordo Salutis.
It would seem to be of necessity to recognize that before any other work of salvation can or is accomplished, that the initiation of that work proceeds from the mind of God. Perhaps this is the singular reason behind what may in fact be a willful ignorance of salvation’s order. An anthropocentric view of salvation would not readily affirm God’s initiation positing rather salvation as the choice of morally free individuals. However, a careful study of the Scriptures will not allow one to hold this view without some significant modification of biblical terms, grammar or syntax.
Nor can one truly understand the inner workings of faith and repentance, which naturally lead to confession, without the necessity of regeneration that must precede them. Way too often, the outward and visible is opted for in lieu of the invisible which is of a more difficult but necessary quality to gauge. The praxis of immediateness seems to outweigh orthodoxical accuracy that leads to certainty and perseverance but is much harder to cultivate.
