Romans 8:28-30

No Condemnation, Life in the Spirit, and the Unbreakable Love of God in Christ

Paul moves from no condemnation in Christ, to freedom and life through the Spirit, to adoption as God's children, to suffering and future glory, to the groaning hope of creation and believers, to Spirit intercession, to God's unstoppable saving purpose, and finally to the inseparable love of God in Christ.

28And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

29For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

30And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
