Called According to His Purpose
Romans 8:28-30 · Berean Standard Bible
Romans 8:28-30 is the key passage on purpose: 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.' It assures believers that even hard circumstances are being woven toward good by a God who foreknew, called, justified, and will glorify them. Your purpose is grounded in being called by God, not in figuring everything out yourself.
28And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
29For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
30And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
