spiritual ones, and entering into heaven to celebrate our marriage feast
              with Jesus, the Lamb, is called glorification.  On that day we and our
              heavenly  family  will  be  complete,  according  to  God’s  original
              intention. Rev. 19:7 “Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us
              give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his
              wife hath made herself ready.”  He glorifies us through faith.


                      But we can have a foretaste of the heavenly family right here
              on earth; a little bit of heaven to go to heaven in.   Ephesians 2:4-7
              “But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which
              He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us
              alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised
              us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in
              Christ  Jesus,  in  order  that  in  the  ages  to  come  He  might  show  the
              surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.”


                      Jesus is our forerunner into heaven where He is glorified and
              sitting at the right hand of the Father.  Scripture tells us that we have
              an anchor, sure and steadfast, reaching up behind that veil in heaven,
              where we can begin to see ourselves complete; sitting and resting in
              union  with  Christ  Jesus.   Hebrews  6:17-20  “In  the  same  way  God,
              desiring  even  more  to  show  to  the  heirs  of  the  promise  the
              unchangeableness  of His purpose,  interposed with  an  oath,  in  order
              that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to
              lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge
              in laying hold of the hope set before us.   This hope we have as an
              anchor  of  the  soul,  a  hope  both  sure  and  steadfast  and  one  which
              enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us,
              having  become  a  high  priest  forever  according  to  the  order  of
              Melchizdek.”

                      Justification,  sanctification  and  glorification;  I  have  been
              saved in Christ Jesus, I am being saved in Christ Jesus and I will be
              saved in Christ Jesus.  The Person of Jesus is my complete salvation
              and as He said on the cross, John 19:30 “It is finished”.   He is my
              victory.   I have no victory of my own.    Everything I’ll ever need is
