Justification Sanctification Glorification

By Dennis King

Justification
The theological definition of “Justification” is the action of a person being made righteous in the sight of God. Justification is the link to salvation after accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. It is the act by which God sees and declares the believing sinner righteous.
Romans 5:18, Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. Acts 13:39, Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you could not obtain under the law of Moses. The New Testament book of Galatians 3:8 reminds us of God’s wisdom as revealed in the Old Testament book of Genesis, “Scripture foresaw God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
For something so important as the path to Justification, it is hard to believe it is not heard many times in today’s Churches. Justification should be a well-known doctrine among the Christian brethren as it is like a baby’s first step after weaning from the false, seeming sweet teat of Satan’s vile and sour milk. (Romans 6:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Yet many, that are not mature in the Word of Christ, believe justification is simply God overlooking our sins. That is absolutely not true. God showed us how He would justify the sinner while offering grace from justice in His judgment.

Sanctification
The origin of this word is from the Latin “Sanctus” which means holy or to consecrate. The suffix of “tion” in sanctification reflects an ongoing, continuous process of becoming more Christlike. This is a forward-moving effort towards removing sin from our lives while striving for more purity and our eventual holiness. As we leave our biblical baby pampers behind us, we outgrow our baby steps to teeter-totter and stumble towards Sanctification. As for myself, I continue to stumble every day, even though I mean to be good.
Sanctification is not accomplished in the blink of an eye, it takes a lifetime of practiced dedication and patience. We should thank God that He is patient within this process. Often we can not see our own progress. But those around us should notice our devotion and perseverance beginning from the time we were justified.
There should be noticeable, concrete differences in your life that are persuasive evidence of your spiritual sanctification, your spiritual growth.
Glorification
Unless you have already died, Glorification will be the ultimate step in your salvation. Glorification is the upcoming and concluding work of God upon every Christian. Glorification will be when He transforms our mortal physical bodies to the eternal physical bodies in which we will dwell forever.
1 Corinthians 15:42-44 (NIV), So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
We were saved when we accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus adopted us as children into his family. We are born again. Yet now, we are still in our bodies of flesh and pain. Every Christian knows he or she is far from perfect. Sinful desires and sins of omission run rampant. The soul is seemingly willing, but the flesh is weak. Glorification is when all three parts of our being have been redeemed and changed. Glorification occurs for the Christian when he ends up with God in Heaven with resurrected incorruptible bodies. Then we shall be like Jesus Christ.
