Justified, Sanctified and Glorified



Romans 4:25 [AKJV]:  “Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.”

“Delivered”; given up by Israel and the world [Rome] carried out the sentence, Matthew 27.   “Offences”  Man’s sins, Romans 3 & 6.  “raised again”; to be raised must have been put down, crucified.  “our justification” by propitiation, Romans 3.  

“Sanctification”; Paul as our Apostle, Romans 15:16.  see 1 Corinthians 1:2,   “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”  1 Corinthians 6:11.  Also see 2 Timothy 2:21.

“Glorified”;   “When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” 2 Thessalonians 1:10.  “When he shall come”  1 Corinthians 15.  “believe”  believe what?  The gospel:  “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.  

But from God’s perspective I have already also been glorified [Ephesians 1:3]  but in the meantime I tarry, [Titus 2:13].  

So from that I see that I am justified, sanctified and glorified.  For this we hope in interest expectation [Hebrews 11:1 and 11:6]; but will one believe?
