What does the Bible say about God's purpose in salvation?

Answered in 30 sources

The Bible teaches that God's purpose in salvation involves foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and glorification of His people, as outlined in Romans 8:28-30.

According to Romans 8:28-30, God's purpose is inherently tied to His sovereignty and love. It reveals that God has foreknown a group of people and predestined them to be conformed to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. This means that before the foundation of the world, God had a specific plan to redeem certain individuals, indicating that salvation is not a mere reaction to human action but is planned and determined by God Himself. In this divine purpose, those who are predestined are also called, justified, and ultimately glorified, showcasing the complete work of salvation orchestrated by God's sovereignty.
