In addition to this unbreakable chain described in Romans 8, Jesus speaks directly to this issue in John 6. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified." This progression of predestined/called/justified/glorified covers the entire spectrum from God's initial choice or election to a person's eternal glorification with Christ. First, Romans 8:29-30 includes a strong foundation for the doctrine, stating, "For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Two primary passages in the New Testament are used as the basis for the teaching of sovereign grace. This doctrine is often associated with Calvinism or Reformed Theology, though it is not limited to these theological systems.
Sovereign grace, also known as irresistible grace, is the teaching that God's grace will eventually save every person God has sovereignly appointed for salvation regardless of his or her resistance to the gospel message.
