"'And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified' (Rom. 8:30). There is no link in that golden chain that has our fingerprints on it. God chose us before we chose him; God saved us while we were enemies; God justifies us while we are ungodly; God makes us alive together with Christ even while we are dead--and he even gives us the faith to receive all of this!" (Michael Horton, Gospel Driven Life (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2009), 82).
