    The Triune Godhead Elected.

    "whom He did Predestinate" Romans 8:30

    The Triune Godhead Effectually Calls

    "them He Calls..." Romans 8:28, 30.

    The Spiritually Dead sinner
    is GIVEN UNDERSTANDING of CONVICTION,
    in that Effectual Call, by The Holy Spirit,
    in the beginning of CONVERSION, by The WORD of GOD.

    Romans 3:10
    "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

    Ephesians 1:13a "In whom ye also trusted,
    after that ye heard the word of truth,
    the gospel of your salvation:



    The Spiritually Dead sinner
    is GIVEN UNDERSTANDING of CONVICTION,
    to the extent that
    God GRANTS them REPENTANCE
    and FAITH to BELIEVE in The GOSPEL,
    The Power of God unto SALVATION,

    Ephesians 2:1
    "And you hath he quickened,
    who were dead in trespasses and sins;"


    Acts 20:21
    "Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
    repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ."


    Romans 1:16
    " For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
    for it is the power of God unto salvation
    to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."


    and The GODHEAD's ELECTION and EFFECTUAL CALLING
    HAVE SUCCEEDED PERFECTLY.

    30 "Then I was by Him, as One brought up with Him:
    and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him"


    THE BELIEVER is SEALED by The HOLY SPIRIT.

    Ephesians 1:13b "...in whom also after that ye believed,
    ye were Sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,"


    This is The NEW BIRTH, REGENERATION,
    and JUSTIFICATION.

    Romans 8:30c "whom He called, them He also Justified:"

    GLORIFICATION is in the Future in man's view.

    Romans 8:30c "and whom He Justified, them He also Glorified."
