Reformed theology understand the golden


Reformed theology understand the golden chain as follows: From all eternity God foreknew the elect. He had an idea of their identity in His mind before He created them. He foreknew them not only in the sense of having a prior idea of their identities, but also of foreloving them. When the Bible speaks of “knowing”, it often distinguishes between a simple mental awareness of a person and a deep intimate love of a person. The Reformed view teaches that all whom God has foreknown, He has also predestined to be inwardly called, justified and glorified. God sovereignly brings to pass the salvation of His elect and only of His elect.
