2. Sanctification

The ongoing process of becoming more Holy, being transformed into the image of Jesus Christ. To not be behave like the world. To be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Reading the Bible & Prayer talking to Jesus), To be set apart to God to be used for his Purpose and Special Use, to bring him Glory. But to be conformed to the image of Christ. To be more be more like him. To be more Holy.
Romans 12-1:2

Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:1-2 NASB

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in relation to righteousness. 21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:20-23 NASB

Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. 8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.
1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 NKJV

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:13-16 NKJV

“For this is the will of God, that you be sanctified [separated and set apart from sin]: that you abstain and back away from sexual immorality.”
Thessalonians 4:3

3. Glorification

In the Bible, glorification refers to the final stage of salvation, where believers are transformed into the perfect likeness of Jesus Christ. This transformation involves both the spiritual and physical aspects of a believer, resulting in a perfected state of holiness and complete freedom from sin. Glorification is the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan for humanity.

50 Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood dose not have the power to inherit the kingdom of God; neither dose perishable inherit imperishable. 51 Listen, I will tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but certainly, we will all be transformed; 52 in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be transformed! 53 For this perishable must put on imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this perishable will put on imperishable, and this mortal will put on immortality, then the written Word will come to pass, “Death is swallowed up” in victory. 55 “O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?”
1 Corinthians 15:50-55 HSV

• Final Stage of Salvation, Resurrection, Transformation and Rapture

  Glorification is the final phase of salvation, that will take place at the end of the age when the last trumpet sounds. All believers who have been declared righteous by putting their faith in Christ Jesus will be resurrected, transformed and raptured; taken up into the sky to meet our Lord Jesus in the air! The apostle Paul wrote about the resurrection of all believers who have died and their souls are in heaven with the Lord. He refers to these believers as those who have "fallen asleep with Jesus". Also believers living on earth, will be transformed into immortal, imperishable bodies and be caught up into the in the clouds!

  13 But I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, about those who are asleep. So you do not grieve as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and arose, so also God will bring with Him; those who have fallen asleep with Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and survive until the coming of the Lord will not go before those that are asleep. 16 Because the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so, we will be with the Lord evermore. 18 So then encourage one another with these words.
  1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 HSV

• Transformation into Christ's Likeness, Transformed into a glorious body like our Lord Jesus Christ

  Glorification involves being conformed to the image of Christ, both in character and in the resurrected body.

  20 For our commonwealth is in heaven, from which also we wait expectantly for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. 21 Who will transform our humble body, that it may be like His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able indeed to subdue all things to Himself.
  Philippians 3:20-21 HSV

• Perfected Holiness

  This transformation results in believers being made holy, pure, and blameless, free from the imperfections and consequences of sin.

  Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
  1 John 3:1-3 NKJV

• Ressurection and Eternal Life

  Glorification is closely associated with the resurrection of the dead and the receiving of a glorified, eternal body. Glorification happens at the last trumpet when the dead in Christ will be resurrected and recieve a glorified immortal body, as well as believers who are still living on earth at that time. In a moment, in the blnk of an eye; we will all be taken up into the sky to meet our Lord Jesus in the air. From there will we wil be taken to our Father's house in heaven.

  29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give it’s light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and magnificent glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a mega trumpet sound to gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
  Matthew 24:29-31 HSV

  1 Do not be troubled in your heart, believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; If not, I would tell you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you with Me; so that where I am, you may be also.
  John 14:1-3 HSV

• God's Final Work

  It is God's final work of grace upon believers, removing the final remnants of sin and bringing them into His presence in glory. Glorification is God's final phase of salvation for believers, removing all sin and we will be caught up into the sky and gathered by the angels to meet the Lord Jesus in the air, and then we all go to our Father's house in heaven.

  40 Then two will be in the field; one taken, and one left. 41 Two grinding at the mill; one taken, and one left. 42 Therefore watch, because you do not know the hour your Lord will come. 43 But know this, that if the head of the house had known what time the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, since in such time as you don’t expect the Son of Man will come.
  Matthew 24:40-44 HSV
