The Golden Chain

A Broadcast with R.C. Sproul

Will all who are called by God be justified? Are all who are called predestined to be glorified? Perhaps you believe that God looks down the corridor of time and sees all that will choose him, and based on that choice, God then predestines people. This extremely quick summary is known as the Prescient view of election, or more commonly known as the foreknowledge view. If that is the view you hold to, then you stand with the majority. The favored scripture passage to defend this position is Romans 8:29 where we find what is known in theology as the Golden Chain. Foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and glorification are the highlighted links to that chain in this passage.

Our Aim

God calls His people to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. This transformation of thinking God’s thoughts after Him is a daily pursuit. To aid you in this, Renewing Your Mind broadcasts a daily message and related resource offer that exposits the glories of God revealed in the Bible against the backdrop of culture, philosophy, apologetics, ethics, and church history. Think of it as bridging the gap between Sunday school and seminary—equipping you for the Christian life.
