Dear friend in Christ,
Have you considered the Apostle Paul’s “Golden Chain of Redemption” found in Romans 8:28-30? It sings of God’s incredible work in our lives:
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son… And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.”
As an Arminian, you likely see this as God’s gracious plan hinging on our free choice. I want to share why I find the Reformed view—that this chain reflects God’s sovereign grace—even more comforting, and I invite you to ponder it with me.
