Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. #Bible
Volumes have been written on this verse, I'm hoping for a paragraph.
Whether you are a Jew or a Gentile, New or Old Testament, God Loves you.
This plan of God's which was developed before time began in God's foreknowledge or mind, was developed knowing you and those who would love and worship Him. So He predestined you to be His people.
Being God's people you would want to and would be conformed to the image or likeness of Jesus, now and in eternity as well. You would be like minded with Jesus, and even resemble Him by your actions.
In order to have this privilege or position God also justified you and sealed the deal by glorifying you. We are God's possession as well as His people, and His children by our faith in His Son Jesus and we are adopted into His family. Now that is glorification. Praise the Lord!
