Four Pillars of a Precious Promise - ch. 9

"all things to work together... called according to His purpose [presdestined]... conformed"

God pledges future grace will make everything beneficial.

Romans 8:28 is a promise built on the foundation of 4 pillars.  If you live inside this massive promise, your life is more solid and stable than Mt. Everest.  Nothing can blow you over when you are inside the walls of Romans 8:28.

The chain of verses 29 and 30 cannot be broken...

The call is effective, it creates what it commands.  No like "Brownie, come here"; but, like "Lazarus, come forth".  The call is infallibly effective because of God's sovereign power.

The call is not a mere invitation to people with the power of self-determination.  The call is an act of creation in people who are spiritually dead.

Foundation:  Election, Predestination, Effectual calling, Justification.  Great halls of the Building:  Romans 8:28 - God will cause all things to work together for our good.
