Alex Kremer 09-11-2022 // The Golden Chain of Redemption Part 1; Romans 8:28-30

When we look at the Bible as a whole, we can think of it as a great symphony of a rescue story, of how God saved a people to Himself.  All of the Bible is about who God is, what He has done and what He is going to do.  This rescue story is a story of which we are a part.  But we must also remember that we are not the center of this story; rather we are the ones requiring rescue.

Today's passage has been referred to as the Golden Chain of Redemption, with each of its links holding us to Christ.  It is the central theme of the rescue story of Scripture and fixes our gaze upon the subject of this story...God the Father working through God, the Son, Jesus Christ.

In part one, we will consider the first two of the five "links" which make up this Golden Chain:

1. Foreknew
2. Predestined
3. Called
4. Justified
5. Glorified

Thank you for listening to today's lesson.  May you be richly blessed as we consider God's intimate knowledge of us, His creation and His purpose to conform the believer in Jesus into the image of His Son.
