Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 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. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Richard Gaffin (Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary) explains the connection between God’s electing grace and our personal holiness.
