Context of Romans 8:30

28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Commentaries on Romans 8:30

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30Whom he did predestinate, etc. - The Gentiles, whom He determined to call into his Church with the Jewish people, He called - He invited by the preaching of the Gospel, to believe on his Son Jesus Christ. It is worthy of note, that all that is spoken here refers to what had already taken place; for the calling, justifying, and glorifying are here represented as having already taken place, as well as the foreknowing and the predestinating. It is therefore…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 30Moreover … - In this verse, in order to show to Christians the true consolation to be derived from the fact that they are predestinated, the apostle states the connection between that predestination and their certain salvation. The one implied the other. Whom he did predestinate - All whom he did predestinate. Them he also called - Called by his Spirit to become Christians. He called, not merely by an external invitation, but in such a way as that they in…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-31Verses 28-31 That is good for the saints which does their souls good. Every providence tends to the spiritual good of those that love God; in breaking them off from sin, bringing them nearer to God, weaning them from the world, and fitting them for heaven. When the saints act out of character, corrections will be employed to bring them back again. And here is the order of the causes of our salvation, a golden chain, one which cannot be broken. 1.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 30He also glorified: Elsewhere in this passage, the glory Christians will experience is always in the future (8:18, 21, 23). The past tense refers to a decision God has already made. God has decided in the past that he will glorify us in the future. Christians have not yet received their full inheritance. However, the Father has firmly and permanently decided to share his glory with us.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3030. Moreover--"And," or "Now"; explanatory of Ro 8:29--In "predestinating us to be conformed to the image of His Son" in final glory, He settled all the successive steps of it. Thus whom he did predestinate, them he also called--The word "called" (as Hodge and others truly observe) is never in the Epistles of the New Testament applied to those who have only the outward invitation of the Gospel (as in Mt 20:16; 22:14). It always means "internally…Read the comment
