You're going to. All right Romans 8. We're in verse 30 and I want to begin reading in

verse 29. This is part 4 in God's golden chain of salvation and I've intentionally

slowed down at this point as you've obviously noted because these verses are so

pivotal if you get these verses are so pivotal.

If you get these verses right, you're going to get 50 other doctrines right.

And if you get this wrong, you're going to be wrong in a hundred other places in

understanding your Bible. It's that important. I mean, this is like a pair of

glasses to put on and now you can see everything else that's around you.

So that's why I've slowed down on these verses and to give you a sense of hope we're going to pick up the pace

next time but I've wanted to make certain that that we have been crystal clear on these verses.

So to this point, we have looked at four knowledge,

predestination, and calling.

And now we want to look at justification and glorification.

So I want to begin reading in verse 29.

The title of this again is God's Golden Chain of Salvation, Part 4.

For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to become conformed to the image of his son so that he would

be the firstborn among many brethren and these whom he predestined he also called, and these whom he called he also justified.

And these whom he justified he also glorified. What we see very clearly here is that in matters of salvation

God always finishes what he starts. In a work of grace, God never instigates and starts a work of salvation, but that he does not finish it all the way to the end.

God never walks away from the project.

He never

saves someone initially but that he doesn't always save them ultimately.
