2) Salvation: Substitutionary atonement predestined from before the foundation of the earth for His elect.
3) Sanctification: Making us into a fit vessel to enter heaven
4) Glorification: Complete salvation of the body after the soul and spirit
God places people in our lives which intersect at the time and place of His choosing. We are adopted into His family; and hence are part of the army of God who rules and reigns with Christ and is given access to His throne in heaven. This is accomplished by giving us a new heart which is able to love the unlovable; and in turn to hate all the things of the world; flesh and the Devil which were controlling us previously. It puts to death the old man; in reverse order first restoring life to the dead soul and spirit of man then eventually the body at the Rapture and/or Resurrection from the dead. His love endures even when heaven and earth pass away; but only His people can live in the new heaven.
Because we are created in His image and spiritually one with Him; the punishment of the wicked is for our benefit as much as anything else. It gives us the mind of Christ; to love Him and obey His commandments and also to abhor evil and any other false gospel. As His ambassadors we are sent forth to proclaim His salvation from hell in all our actions; and accompany it with service to others whether it be our employers or a beggar on the street. Worship is a praiseworthy event for us; which is compelled forth by His love and communion with Him. We are privileged therefore as a child to follow His voice and His sheep hear Him.
I will see about going through this outline in greater detail in my next few posts.

2) Salvation: Substitutionary atonement predestined from before the foundation of the earth for His elect.
3) Sanctification: Making us into a fit vessel to enter heaven

One of my favorite verses (I would call it my "life verse") is 1 John 4:10
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son as a propitiation for our sins."
In fact, this whole section in 1 John 4:7-21is very near and dear to my heart.
