What is the order of salvation?A Scripture-grounded answer about order of salvation
The order of salvation (ordo salutis) is the theological sequence describing the steps or stages by which God applies salvation to individuals. Based on Romans 8:29-30, it typically includes: foreknowledge, predestination, calling, regeneration, faith, repentance, justification, adoption, sanctification, and glorification. Different traditions arrange these steps differently. Reformed theology places regeneration before faith (God must first give new life for a person to believe). Arminian theology places faith before regeneration (a person must believe, then God regenerates them). All agree the process begins with God and ends in glory.
