Foreknown, Called, Glorified — Romans 8:28-30

Rom 8:28-30 links five acts of God: foreknew, predestined, called, justified, glorified. Each verb is aorist, including "glorified," so certain is the outcome that Paul speaks of it as already done.

Augustine — On Nature and Grace, and Thomas Aquinas — Summa Theologiae. John Calvin — Institutes of the Christian Religion. The traditions differ on how predestination and free cooperation fit together, yet share its comfort — that God works all things for good (8:28) — grounded in the sovereignty unfolded in Rom 9:6-18.

Glorification ties this note to the resurrection hope of 1Cor 15:42-44 and to the conformity to Christ's image promised in Rom 8:29. Herman Bavinck — Reformed Dogmatics.
