1. The Order of Salvation
1. Election (God’s choice of people to be saved)
2. The gospel call (proclaiming the message of the gospel)
3. Regeneration (being born again)
4. Conversion (faith and repentance)
5. Justification (right legal standing)
6. Adoption (membership in God’s family)
7. Sanctification (right conduct of life)
8. Perseverance (remaining a Christian)
9. Death (going to be with the Lord)
10. Glorification (receiving a resurrection body)

2. 9.1 We believe that in a free act of righteous grace God justifies the
ungodly by faith alone apart from works,173 pardoning their
sins,174 and reckoning them as righteous and acceptable in His
presence.175 Faith is thus the sole instrument176 by which we, as
sinners, are united to Christ, whose perfect righteousness and
satisfaction for sins is alone the ground of our acceptance with
God.177 This acceptance happens fully and permanently at the first
instant of justification.178 Thus the righteousness by which we come
into right standing with God is not anything worked in us by God,
neither imparted to us at baptism nor over time, but rather is
accomplished for us, outside ourselves, and is imputed to us.

3. 9.2 We believe, nevertheless, that the faith, which alone
receives the gift of justification, does not remain alone in the
person so justified, but produces, by the Holy Spirit,179 the fruit
of love180 and leads necessarily to sanctification.181This
necessary relation between justifying faith and the fruit of good
works gives rise to some biblical expressions which seem to
make works the ground or means of justification,182 but in fact
simply express the crucial truth that faith that does not yield the
fruit of good works is dead, being no true faith.183

4. Romans 8:29-30 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.
