The Golden Chain of Redemption: God Sovereignly Brings Us to Glory! Foreknowledge: divine election, choosing beforehand, “fore-loving” Predestination: to be conformed to the image of God’s Son Calling: effectual summons to repent and believe Justification: being declared righteous before God Glorification: getting a transformed body at the resurrection Because it is GOD who will bring us to glory, we know that all things will work together for good! Characteristics of the Golden Chain: Complementarity: all of the divine actions in the Golden Chain fit together to accomplish our redemption Consecutiveness: The redemptive acts proceed from “pre-temporal” (foreknowledge and predestination) to “temporal” (calling, justification, and glorification) Co-extensiveness: It is the same group of people in all five redemptive actions (foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and glorification) Comprehensiveness: The entire purpose of redemption is God’s choice (He foreknows, He predestines, He calls He justifies, He glorifies) “...for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 From the ESV Bible® (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
