Predestination and Election
God knew, loved and chose you before the foundation of the world to be conformed to the image of Christ and receive all spiritual blessings in Christ.
Calling and Regeneration
In time, God effectively called you to Himself and made you spiritually alive through the new birth.
Faith and Repentance
Having been made spiritually alive, God gave you faith- trust in the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ- and changed your mind about sin.
Justification
Through faith in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God has declared you righteous- as holy as Christ Himself- forever and ever.
Since we have been justified by faith…
- we have peace with God
- we have access by faith
- we rejoice in hope
- we rejoice in our sufferings
- we have God’s love in our hearts
While we were still sinners…
- Christ died for the ungodly
- God proved His love
Since we have been justified by His blood…
- we will be saved from God’s wrath
- we have been reconciled with God
- we rejoice in God
