The Unbreakable Chain
Commentators overwhelmingly describe this verse as a "golden chain" of salvation with unbreakable links. Paul shows a secure progression: those God predestined, He also calls; those He calls, He also justifies; and those He justifies, He also glorifies. Scholars like Spurgeon and Barnes stress that the same group of people is in view from start to finish, meaning if you are truly called and justified, your future glorification is certain.
