From Preservation to Glorification, Sovereign Grace Episode 7

Today on Words of Grace, we present the concluding message in our series on Sovereign Grace, focusing on the certainty of final salvation for God’s chosen people. Throughout this series, we’ve explored foundational concepts like total depravity, God’s sovereign choice, Christ’s atoning work, and the Holy Spirit’s role in the new birth. Today, we emphasize the assurance that those predestined, called, and justified by God will ultimately be glorified, as highlighted in Romans 8 and also in John’s gospel.

Additionally, we draw from passages in 1 Corinthians, Philippians, and 1 Thessalonians to underscore the fact that our final salvation is guaranteed by God’s faithfulness. Despite our flaws, God will confirm and preserve us until the end. Ephesians 1 and Romans 8 further affirm our predestination to be adopted and conformed to Christ’s image, ensuring that nothing can separate us from God’s love.
