Ever mix up what God declares, what we practice, and what we’re promised? We walk through the Bible’s three-part map of the Christian life—justification, sanctification, and glorification—with clear definitions, vivid analogies, and a stack of Scripture you can mark up and revisit. You’ll hear why no amount of future good deeds can pay for past sin, how faith unites us to Christ’s righteousness, and why justification is a one-time verdict from God that secures real assurance.
From there, we shift to growth. Sanctification isn’t a ladder to earn acceptance; it’s the Spirit-led process of becoming more like Jesus. We talk about what “set apart” looks like in ordinary days: learning God’s ways, resisting old patterns, forming new habits, and trusting the Holy Spirit’s quiet conviction. You’ll see why the Corinthians could be “sanctified” and still need correction, and how that tension makes sense of uneven progress without surrendering the call to holiness.
Finally, we lift our eyes to glorification. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, Philippians 3, and Revelation 21–22, we unpack the hope of resurrection bodies, a world made new, and tears wiped away. Glorification is not ethereal; it’s embodied, joyful, and just. We explore the promise that the saints will be raised imperishable and share in Christ’s glory, and how that future anchors courage, endurance, and meaningful work today.
If you’re hungry for gospel clarity and practical wisdom, this conversation will steady your heart and sharpen your steps. Listen, share with a friend who needs assurance, and leave a review to help others find the show.
