Message 11: Transformation, Conformation, Glorification and Building Up
IV. Glorification–Rom. 8:30
Romans 8:30 And those whom He predestinated, these He also called; and those whom He called, these He also justified; and those whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Hebrews 2:10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in leading many sons into glory, to make the Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, He who has called you into His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself perfect, establish, strengthen, and ground you.
1 Thessalonians 2:12 So that you might walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
Romans 8:23 And not only so, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan in ourselves, eagerly awaiting sonship, the redemption of our body.
Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed unto the day of redemption.
A. Glorification is the spreading forth of Christ’s glory from the believers by their growing to maturity in Christ’s life
B. It is also the believers’ entering into the glory of God—Heb. 2:10; 1 Pet. 5:10; 1 Thes. 2:12
C. It is also the believers’ enjoyment of the redemption of their body—Rom. 8:23; Eph. 4:30
D. It is also the ultimate consummation of God’s complete salvation in the believers
E. The ultimate consummation of God’s complete salvation being the New Jerusalem—the crystallization of the union and mingling of God with man, the processed and consummated Triune God with His regenerated, transformed, conformed, and glorified tripartite elect
