God's Purpose

Foreknow - He “foreloved”458 and “forechose” us in Christ.459 Christ is God’s beloved Son; in Him we also are beloved of God (Eph. 1:4-5). Beacon Bible Commentary, Volume 8: Romans Through 1 and 2 Corinthians (Kindle Locations 3181-3182). Beacon Hill Press. Kindle Edition.

Predestinate - (Elect) But notice what they are predestined to do (BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON,…

He goes on to say, That he might be the firstborn among many brethren- conformed not to the first Adam but the Second Adam.

Called - implies a summons or invitation which has been obeyed (cf. Acts 26:19). This call is by the word of God (10:13-17) and the Spirit (John 6:44). Beacon Bible Commentary, Volume 8: Romans Through 1 and 2 Corinthians (Kindle Locations 3207-3208). Beacon Hill Press. Kindle Edition.

Justified - A legal term Made just an righteous by God. Forgiven and delivered

Glorified - What we will be The ultimate purpose of God - Not some angel sitting on a cloud somewhere in the eternal ethereal heavenlies playing a golden harp but rather having a glorified body becoming the Bride of Christ.

This is the purpose of God I like how Paul continues in verses 31-end

Romans 8:29-39 (KJV)

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It isGod that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shalltribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
