Romans 8:29-30  In eternity past, God chose—foreknew or foreloved—and predestined a host of Adam’s fallen race to be His children. Those whom God predestined, He also called. Those whom God calls to salvation are justified, adopted, and eventually glorified. But there is even more to salvation. After He adopts us, He by His Spirit works in us to sanctify us. In this sermon, Pastor Tony continues his review of the Golden Chain of redemption with his first of three sermons on sanctification.
