Romans 8:29-32
KJV(i)29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
29 For from the very beginning God decided that those who came to him—and all along he knew who would—should become like his Son, so that his Son would be the First, with many brothers. 30 And having chosen us, he called us to come to him; and when we came, he declared us “not guilty,” filled us with Christ’s goodness, gave us right standing with himself, and promised us his glory. 31 What can we ever say to such wonderful things as these? If God is on our side, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son for us but gave him up for us all, won’t he also surely give us everything else?

These are my thoughts please share yours.
29 Christ knew us long before we knew Him and he still loves us any way. We are remade in Christ's image after we follow him we are no longer to be in the flesh or Adam's image. Just like all mankind came thru Adam all Christians come thru Christ.
30 We were chosen from to be Christ's from the beginning and He calls us at His time and after we answer the call we are justified by the faith which He gives us. This faith is given by grace and leads us to Him in glory. We are glorified by having a relationship with Jesus.
31 If we are following God's will we will be able to overcome all things to do His will. Nothing came stop us from doing His will, this does not mean it is easy though, it may be hard to do this.
32 Jesus was a sacrfice for all those that recieve Him. Thru we have all we need but thru Him all our other blessings come.
