From The Schoolmaster To The Savior:"GOD'S PEOPLE PREDESTINED FOR GOD'S PURPOSE"

"GOD'S PEOPLE PREDESTINED FOR GOD'S PURPOSE"

 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:28-31)

After having illustrated GOD'S PURPOSE over the ages, through chapter 7, as carried aloft by the vehicles of "THE LIGHT OF CREATION" and "THE LIGHT OF CONSCIOUS," and confirmed through "NATURAL" and "THE WRITTEN LAW," the Apostle Paul, "AS EVERYMAN," then models how these "TOOLS" of "GOD'S PURPOSE" crescendo into "THE LIGHT OF CHRIST" leading to the new birth and "SPIRITUAL LAW." Having thus illustrated and embodied this progression eloquently and with stark clarity to this point in this pivotal work, Paul now begins to take focus on how this progression has impacted God's "ELECT BODY," formally made up of "NATIONAL ISRAEL" in the Old Covenant, but now made up of all who come to Christ by faith. All of these are "PREDESTINED" by God to be conformed to the "IMAGE" of His Son in a "NEW" elect body for this New Covenant: "THE BODY OF CHRIST."
