For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. Romans 8:29-30 NIV

Those who God foreknew to be His own, He predestined to be conformed to the image of the Son. We must belong to Christ in order to be reconciled to the Father. There is no other form of reconciliation between the Creator and that which He created. We were not created with the desire to be thrown out or destroyed. We were created by a loving Father, who only has our best interest in mind, and wants us to be reconciled to Him through His Son, whom He sent for our sake. Christ is the first born. He was the first to be raised from death, through the glory of the Father. Those who believe in the Son shall be raised in glory and inherit the kingdom prepared for them. We who were predestined were called by God to share the Word, and to share in the glory of the Son. We are justified in the eyes of the Father through the Son and shall share in the Son’s eternal glory!
