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

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
