Romans 8:29-30 says, “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. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.”
Notice the progression of our salvation. God knew and loved us before the foundation of the world. He transforms us into the image of Jesus. He calls us so that we will be righteous before Him and ultimately glorified with Jesus in Heaven. So salvation is a point in time event when we believe and trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord. But salvation is also a process of becoming like Jesus and ultimately participating in the glory due His name.
