The Salvation Order of the Elect

The elect are predestined for salvation (before Creation). Acts 13:48; Rom 8:29–30; Eph 1:4–5, 11; Titus 1:1–2; Rev 13:8; 17:8

The elect and the reprobate are outwardly called to repentance and faith (Gospel or external call). Acts 16:31; 17:30

The elect are regenerated by the Holy Spirit (He causes them to be born again). Jn 3:1–8; Eph 2:5; Col 2:13; 1 Pet 1:3

The elect are effacaciously called, and thus, respond to the call to come to Jesus Christ (irresistible grace). Jn 10:3–4; Rom 8:30; 11:29; 2 Tim 1:9

The elect are granted repentance. Acts 5:31; 11:18; 2 Tim 2:25

The elect are given faith. Rom 12:3; Gal 3:22; 5:22; Eph 2:8–9; Phil 1:29; Heb 12:2

The elect are justified (declared not guilty) by grace. Rom 3:24, 28; 5:9

The elect are adopted into the family of God. Rom 8:15, 23; Eph 1:4–5; 1 Jn 3:1, 10

The elect are sanctified by God’s Spirit and His Word. Jn 17:17; Rom 15:16; 1 Thess 4:3, 7; 5:23; 2 Thess 2:13; 1 Pet 1:2

The elect are preserved unto glory (perseverance if the saints). Ps 121:7–8; Rom 8:16–18; 9:23; Eph 5:27; Phil 3:20–21; 2 Tim 1:12; 4:18; 1 Pet 1:3–5; 5:10; Jude 1:24–25

The elect are glorified (saints gain the glory of Christ, in full, in their souls, at the moment of death, and in their bodies at the resurrection). Rom 8:30; 1 Cor 15:52–54; Col 3:4
