For what purpose are we called by God?

Romans 8:28–29 (ESV)

28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

God’s purpose for calling us concerns Christ. He is to be the firstborn of innumerable brothers and sisters. God raised his Son to life in order to, through him, restore many to life.1
