Romans 8:30
Having determined our destiny ahead of time, he called us to himself and transferred his perfect righteousness to everyone he called. And those who possess his perfect righteousness he co-glorified with his Son!
Since He is working all things out for the best, and knew that we would choose to be with Him, then He called us whom He knew would accept the call and imputed righteousness to us. We get to be glorified with Jesus, changed into Him, provided we choose to live empty of ourselves rather than full of ourselves.

Romans 8:31-32
So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us? For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give.
Since we are being reformed into Jesus, God does not abandon His son, so will not abandon us. If God never loses a fight, then how can we? If God loved us so much that He did not keep Jesus back from us, then why would He withhold anything else we need in order to be more fully a part of Him, if that is the goal of salvation in the first place? Paul says that He will not. I believe it, so if we are in need of something, then all we need do is ask. He will provide it freely.

Romans 8:33-34
Who then would dare to accuse those whom God has chosen in love to be his? God himself is the judge who has issued his final verdict over them—“Not guilty!” Who then is left to condemn us? Certainly not Jesus, the Anointed One! For he gave his life for us, and even more than that, he has conquered death and is now risen, exalted, and enthroned by God at his right hand. So how could he possibly condemn us since he is continually praying for our triumph?
Who, then accuses us? Does God? Does Jesus? No. There is an enemy, whom we must be daily prepared to do battle with. This passage does not name him, though. Jesus is constantly pulling for us, interceding for us along with the Holy Spirit before the Father. All of heaven is for you. Grab that today.
