What does Romans say about God's purpose?

Answered in 1 source

Romans reveals that God has an eternal purpose of grace, which is sovereignly executed and guarantees the salvation of His elect.

The Book of Romans emphasizes that God does not merely have a plan for salvation; rather, He operates according to an eternal and sovereign purpose of grace. Romans 8:28 declares that all things work together for good to those who love God, highlighting God's perfect providence. This purpose of grace assures us that those whom He has foreknown and predestined will be called, justified, and glorified. It reflects not just a reaction to a world of sin but an active engagement by God, ensuring that His elect will not only be saved but transformed into the likeness of Christ. The affirmation of divine sovereignty in salvation assures us of our security and hope in Christ.
