From called to Christ to Glorified by Christ

Convicts of sin, righteousness and judgement:

1st stage: conviction of Sin brings us to Christ 'Helpless' 'powerless' 'weak' cannot work righteousness

2nd Stage: Righteousness 'brought near through the blood', 'friends of God', 'Spirit witnesses with our Spirit that we are Children of God'

3rd stage: Christ's victory - judgement over the evil one, Christ who has overcome, invites you to share in that Victory. "I have overcome the world', 'destroyed him who had the power of death', 'led captivity captive', 'all things under His feet'.

Corresponds with calling, justification, glorification stages as pointed out in Romans 8. whom He has called He has Justified, whom He has justified, He has also glorified.
