Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. This morning I'm going to read to you a large section out of the Tripartite Tractate, which is the book out of the Nag Hammadi scriptures that I generally follow and teach from. This is about the distinction between the Father and the Son. And again, remember there is no gender. The Father is our Father. It is the source of consciousness out of which all of us come. All consciousness, all life, all love in the universe comes from this One Source. And it's not a thing. It's not an it. It's not simply the source. It is a spring of consciousness and love that loves us and gives us our consciousness. So we have a relationship. We are its offspring. This is why there's a familial name attached to it as the Father. It emanates consciousness and love. So let's start by looking at chapter 64, verse 28 of the Tripartite Tractate. And it says, and this is Thomassen's translation edited by Marvin Meyer from the book, The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, quoting: Now the Father, insofar as he is elevated above the members of the ALL, is unknowable and incomprehensible. His greatness is so immense that if he had revealed himself at once and suddenly, even the highest of the Aeons that have gone forth from him would have perished. For that reason, he withheld his power and his impassibility in that in which he is, remaining ineffable and unnameable, transcending all mind and all speech. Pausing the quote for a minute. Now think about that. People seem to have an innate sense that God is unknowable. We have much smaller minds. We don't have the ability to comprehend the greatness of God. Everybody seems to know that as an intuition. So the thought that we can touch the Source and embody it within ourselves and that we then become God is—it's completely incorrect. It's kind of so-called New Age thought. But we can't do that because the Father itself, or himself, or itself, because it's non-gendered, is unknowable, is uneffable because he's so great. And this is why when the Aeon Who Fell tried to launch itself back into the Father, it fell rather than approaching. It fell because the Father is unapproachable. It is too great. And so the Father repelled that Aeon, which here in the Tripartite Tractate we know as Logos. Other Gnostic traditions refer to that Aeon as Sophia. But it was a protective mechanism for that Aeon because the Father didn't want it to get burned up and annihilated. Quoting again, He, [that is the Father], on the other hand, extended himself and spread himself out. He is the one who gave firmness, location, and a dwelling place to the ALL. And the ALL is another word for the Pleroma. The ALL is the Fullness of everything that is God. It's all of the constituents of God. When I write about it in the Gnostic Gospel Illuminated, I capitalize each letter, A-L-L. They're all capitalized because it is God. Quoting again, According to one of his names, he is in fact Father of the ALL. Through his constant suffering on their behalf, having sown in their minds the idea that they should seek what exceeds their capabilities by making them perceive that he is and thus making them seek what he might be. So you see, he's put into the Totalities a yearning, a desire to seek after the Father, to reunite with the Father, as Logos attempted to do, but he doesn't let them know that that's impossible because he doesn't want to repel them in their minds. He wants them to seek after him and to believe that they can come close to him. And by the way, when I speak about the Aeons or the Totalities of the ALL, we are their direct descendants. Everything, because of the principle, as above, so below, everything we say about the Aeons or the ALL applies to us as well. That's why it's good to know about the Aeons because they are the pure source of our consciousness. So we get all muddled up down here with all of the distractions of this material cosmos, but the Aeons are right up there without any material distractions. They are the pureness of the emanation of the Father. So what we can find out about the Aeons and the Totalities of the ALL, we can apply to ourselves. This is why we seek after God. This is why we want to know the Father. But according to this, it's an impossibility to actually know the Father because it exceeds our capabilities. So again, it said that the Father of the ALL sowed in their minds the idea that they should seek what exceeds their capabilities by making them perceive that he is and thus making them seek what he might be. Quoting, He was given them as a delight and nourishment, joy and abundant illumination. And this is his compassion, the knowledge he provides and his union with them. So you see, what the Father gives us is delight and nourishment. He feeds our spirits. He gives us joy and abundant illumination. So we get all of that. We just can't think that we are as great as God because we aren't even approaching the Father because the Father is too great for us to touch. Quoting again, And this is he who is called and who is the Son. He is the sum of the ALL and they understood who he is and he is clothed. So this is saying that the Son is the extension of the Father. He's the part of the Father that extended himself out and spread himself. And it is the Son who has firmness, location and a dwelling place. And it is the Son who is the ALL, who is the Totalities of the ALL. He is the sum of the ALL. And it says they understood who he is because he is them and he is clothed. He wears the ALL like a garment, just the same way that we wear our bodies as a garment. Except it's not exactly the same because most of our body is made up of this material universe that arose during the Fall. But the ALL and the Totalities of the ALL are pure consciousness, pure love and delight and joy. And that is in their totality what is called the Son. On the other hand, that is the one by reason of whom he is called the Son, the one about whom they perceive that he exists and that they have been seeking him. This is the one who exists as Father and of whom one can neither speak nor think. He is the one who exists first. That is, the Father existed first before the Son. But the Son is the one that we can perceive or that the Totalities can perceive. They can't perceive directly the Father, but they can perceive his emanation, which is called the Son. Quoting again, For no one can conceive of him or think of him or draw near to that place toward the exalted, toward the truly preexistent. [That would be the original Father they're talking about.] But every name that is thought or spoken about him is brought forth in glorification as a trace of him, according to the capacity of each one of those who give him glory. So this is saying that the full glory of the Father cannot be known. The Son can be known because he is coexistent with the Totalities of the ALL. So they are him and he is them. But the Father can be perceived as this trace. And in other places, it says like a sweet odor wafting to your nose. That is the trace of the Father coming through the Father, coming through the Son, coming through the Totalities, coming through the Aeons. And that trace comes on through down to a Second Order Powers as well. We smell the beautiful aroma of the glory of the Father, even though we can't know the Father. Quoting again, He, however, whose light dawned from him, stretching himself out to give birth and knowledge to the members of the ALL, he is all these names without falsehood, and he is truly the Father's only First Man. [So we're talking about the Son again.] And the Son has no falsehood. This is not a yin yang balance evil with good type of God. It's all good. It's all beautiful. It's all glorious. And the Son is the First Man of the Father. This is saying that the Son is our prototypical human, the First Man. Quoting again, This is the one I call the form of the formless, the body of the incorporeal, the face of the invisible, the word of the inexpressible, the mind of the inconceivable, the spring that flowed from him, the root of those who have been rooted, the God of those who are ready, the light of those he illuminates, the will of those he has willed, the providence of those for whom he provides, the wisdom of those he has made wise, the strength of those he has given strength, the assembly of those with whom he is present, the revelation of that which is sought after, the eye of those who see, the spirit of those who breathe, the life of those who live, the unity of those who are united. Now this is saying that the Son wears all of those names, and the Son is all of that to the Totalities of the ALL. But again, as above so below, he is all of that to us as well. Quoting again, While all the members of the ALL exist in the single One, that is the Son, the Son and the ALL are united, as he clothes himself completely, and in his single Name, he is never called by it. And in the same unitary way, they are simultaneously, this single One, as well as all of them. He is not divided as a body, nor is he split apart by the names in which he exists, in the sense that this is one thing and that is something else. Nor does he change by [and then there's a missing word], nor does he alter through the names in which he is, being now like this and now something different, so that he would be one person now and something else at another time. Rather, he is entirely himself forever. He is each and every one of the members of the ALL eternally at the same time. He is what all of them are, as father of the ALL. And the members of the ALL are fathers as well. For he is himself knowledge for himself, and he is each one of his qualities and powers. And he is himself the eye for all that he knows, seeing all of it in himself, having a son and a form. So you see, because the Son and the ALL are completely united, it's saying that the Son sees them all at once, and the ALL sees the Son all at once, not split up into all of the various qualities, although the Father does see them all, because the Father knows all. Quoting again, Thus his powers and qualities are innumerable and inaudible because of the way in which he gives birth to them. The births of his words, his commands, and his members of the ALL are innumerable and indivisible. He knows them, for they are himself. When they speak, they are all in one single name. And if he brings them forth, it is in order that they may be found to exist as individual qualities, forming a unity. So this is talking about the Totalities of the ALL. That's why they're referred to as Totalities, because they are not individuals. They are part of this indivisible unity of the Son, and yet they're all there in their individuality. They just don't realize it, because they don't know themselves as singular identities, because they form a unity that is the Son. He did not, however, reveal his multiplicity at once to the members of the ALL, nor did he reveal his sameness to those who had issued forth from him. Now, all of those who have gone forth from him, that is, the Aeons of the Aeons, being emissions born of a procreative nature, also procreate through their own procreative nature to the glory of the Father, just as he had been the cause of their existence. This is what we said earlier. He makes the Aeons into roots and springs and fathers. For that which they glorified, they bore, for it possesses knowledge and wisdom, and they understood that they have gone forth from the knowledge and the understanding of the ALL. So we're talking about the Totalities. They are the Aeons of the Aeons. They are the direct parental units of what we then know as the Aeons of the Pleroma of God. But the Totalities were their forerunners, and they are the ones that are unified with the Son. And the Son, of course, is unified with the Father. However, these Totalities are like roots and springs and fathers, and they glorify the Father, they glorify the Son, and the things that they glorify, they give birth to. Quoting again, If the members of the ALL had risen to give glory according to the individual powers of each Aeon, they would have brought forth a glory that was only a semblance of the Father, who himself is the ALL. For that reason, they were drawn through the singing of praise and through the power of the oneness of him from whom they had come forth, that being the Son, into mutual intermingling, union, and oneness. From their assembled Fullness, they offered a glorification worthy of the Father, an image that was One, and at the same time many, because it was brought forth for the glory of the One, and because they had come forward toward him who himself is the entirety of the ALL. Okay, the Totalities, you see, have been giving glory to the Father in the direction of the Son, toward the Son. And that's S-O-N, easy to confuse with S-U-N, but that would be a whole different set of mythologies. And they had to all give glory together. That's why they're called Totalities. They didn't give glory individually. They were one voice. They didn't know themselves as individuals. They were all at once that one thing, the ALL. And it was the ALL giving glory all together in the direction of the Son and Father that caused them then to procreate. Now we're moving into a section called the Three Fruits of Glorification, and that's chapter 68, verse 36 through 70, verse 19. This then was a tribute from the Aeons to the one who had brought forth the ALL, a first fruit offering of those who are immortal and eternal. [That's the Father and the Son.] For when it issued from the living Aeons, it left them perfect and full, caused by something perfect and full, since they were full and perfect, having given glory in a perfect manner in communion. So what this is saying is that nothing was diminished. Everything was full and perfect because they all together sang their glory without personal identification. It was all for one and one for all. For inasmuch as the Father lacks nothing, he returns the glory they give to those who glorify to make them manifest by what he himself is. The cause that brought about for them the second glorification is, in fact, that which was returned unto them from the Father . When they understood the grace from the Father through which they had borne fruit with one another, so that just as they had been bringing forth by glorifying the Father, in the same way they might also themselves be made manifest in their act of giving glory, so as to be revealed as being perfect. So that is the second glorification that is being described. The glory that they were giving, that the Totalities gave to the Father and the Son, reflected back onto them without any loss or diminishment. It's full and complete. You know we're talking about fractal formulas, right? The Son is a fractal of the Father . The Totalities are the pure, complete, fractal formula of the Son, and they give glory to the Son and the Father without being diminished whatsoever, because they do it in unison, in full communion. So then, They became fathers of the third glorification, [or we could say the third iteration of the fractal.] They became fathers of the third glorification, which was produced in accordance with the free will and the power they had been born with, enabling them to give glory in unison while at the same time, independently of one another, according to the will of each. You see now, this is how the third glorification, or the third iteration, differs from the second iteration. The second glory had to all give glory, all together, all at once, all the time. They had no personal identity. But in that giving of glory, they gave birth to the third glorification, which showed each of those Aeons that they had free will. Thus, both the first and the second glorifications are perfect and full, for they are manifestations of the perfect and full Father and of the perfect things that issued from the glorification of him who is perfect. The fruit of the third glorification, however, is produced by the will of each individual Aeon and of each of the Father ‘s qualities and powers. This fruit is a perfect fullness to the extent that what the Aeons desire and are capable of in giving glory to the Father comes from their union as well as from each of them individually. You see, here we have the birth of ego. Because ego is identification of individuality, whereas the pure Self was further up line—that is the ALL, the Totalities, the Son. We have both of those characteristics within us. We have the Totalities of the ALL that we generally call our Self with a capital S. That is the pureness of God that reflects the totality of the Father and the Son, without shadow or blemish or fault. And then we have ego, which is recognition of our individuality and our individual free will. And it differs from the one Self because we are singing our own song of praise from our position. That's our ego. For this reason, they exist as minds over minds, words over words, superiors over superiors, degrees over degrees, being ranked one above the other. Each of those who glorify has his own station, rank, dwelling place, a place of rest, which is the glorification he brings forth. And each of us as well has our own place, position, place of rest, duties and whatnot. And that is our ego identification and the free will that we exercise through our ego. Our entire unit of consciousness, as I would put it in the Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything, our entire unit of consciousness consists of the Self, which is the One, and the ego, which is our individuality and our personal will. That is our unit of consciousness. I am all that. Plus, I have this body that attached to me when I came down here into this material world. So the First Fruit is the totality of the ALL that is coexistent with the Son. The Second Fruit is when the Son and Totalities gave glory to one another and that produced the Aeons of the Fullness and they understood and were perfectly revealed. And then the Third Fruit is the Aeons of the Fullness of God, the third glorification by the will of the individual Aeons and their and the Father ‘s qualities and powers. That's the Hierarchy of the Fullness—that's the Third Fruit. And these are the ones that sit and dream of Paradise. And these are the ones who give glory together and in various combinations and produce us, the Second Order of powers. I really love the language of the Tripartite Tractate. It's very beautiful scripture. I think that the understanding we gain here by reading the Tripartite Tractate deepens the knowledge of who the Father is and who the Son is and what the Aeons are. This is not an assembly of mythological characters. This is pure consciousness emanating from the Source and flowing out to us with consciousness, love, free will, joy, and the desire to seek after the Father. We inherit all of that from the Aeons and the Aeons of the Aeons and the Son. So until next week, onward and upward, and God bless us all.

For God's people, the best is always ahead.

Romans: From Reformation to Glorification – The Groanings of the Spirit 8:26-30

"In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 15:12–22, we explore Paul's profound teaching on the resurrection and how it flows directly from the doctrine of union with Christ. Every benefit of salvation—justification, adoption, sanctification, and now glorification—comes to us because we are united to Christ, the second Adam and our covenant head.Some in Corinth denied the resurrection of the dead. Paul responds by showing that to deny our resurrection is to deny Christ's resurrection, because the two are inseparably linked. Christ is the firstfruits—the beginning of one great harvest. His resurrection guarantees ours. Your future resurrection is not only promised; it has already begun in Him.This reality transforms how we endure suffering in this life. Just as Christ entered glory after humiliation and suffering, so believers—united to Him—follow that same pattern. Our sufferings are “with Christ,” and our glorification will be with Him as well.At Christmas we remember why this union is possible at all: the incarnation. The eternal Son became man so that we could be united to Him and share in His life, His righteousness, and ultimately His resurrection. As we have borne the image of the man of dust, so we will bear the image of the Man of heaven.If Christ is raised, then you will be raised. If you are in Christ, you will live.This is the hope, the comfort, and the unshakeable foundation of the Christian life.#1Corinthians15 #UnionWithChrist #Resurrection #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #Glorification #ReformedTheology #GospelHope #Incarnation #ChristTheFirstfruits #EternalLife #ChristianLiving"

The resurrection is part of the complete plan.  It is part of the restoration of all things.

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

A baseball player on first base wants to score a run, but he may not make it. He could be caught stealing or the next batter could make the third out, or he could be tagged out before reaching home plate. But God has determined that everyone of His children will make it home. He has purposed that all those he foreknew, predestined, called, and justified will be glorified. Our glorification is an eternal unshakeable fact, sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

The Humiliation and the Glorification

Austin Miller preaches the final message of The Great Voyage.

The Apostle Paul, from Philippians 1:6 instructs us on God's assured work in believers — that God, Who began a good work, will carry it to completion, giving confidence, perseverance, and a joy of anticipation even amid trials. The episode explores salvation, sanctification, the "day of Christ," and practical encouragement to trust Gods ongoing work in the Lord's Churches and in individual lives.

Have you been scammed by a fake Christianity? Were you promised that if you prayed a certain prayer, or came forward at a meeting, Jesus would take you to Heaven - but leave you in your sin? Were you told that you could accept Christ as Savior, and not as Lord? Were you sold Justification and Glorification, but when you got the package home and unwrapped it, there was no Sanctification inside? We're back with Jim in Romans 7, thinking about the Genuine Article.

CONTENT WARNING: Nothing too scandalous is talked about in this episode, but we do refer to the platform OnlyFans and if you are a parent, maybe listen to this episode first before letting someone under 18 listen! If you are under 18, please talk to your parent, guardian, or trusted adult before listening. With that said, this is our next episode in our series of "ethical debates" in climbing and sport. We start with the apparent glorification of danger, specifically free soloing and highballing and how it relates to the age of social media and click baiting. We then discuss how OnlyFans has been offering athletes contracts to endorse their platform and use it however they want to--we discuss whether this would change your career as a professional athlete or limit potential opportunities. That leads to a discussion about the use of athletes to garner positive public perception and how the "Enhanced Games" are doing just that for big pharma and venture capitol firms. We also go a bit more climbing specific and talk about whether it still counts as a "flash" if you've trained on a 3D printed replica before trying an outdoor boulder. This was spicier than our typical episodes so PLEASE let us know what you think!

In this third and final exploration of the spectrum of salvation, we delve into the three crucial stages of our spiritual journey: justification, sanctification, and glorification. As believers, we're reminded that justification frees us from sin's penalty, sanctification liberates us from sin's power, and glorification will ultimately save us from sin's very presence. The message emphasizes Romans 8:18, highlighting that our present sufferings pale in comparison to the glory that awaits us. This perspective shift encourages us to persevere through life's challenges, knowing that our eternal reward far outweighs any temporary hardship. As we contemplate our future glorified state, we're inspired to live with greater purpose and hope, eagerly anticipating the day when we'll stand faultless before God, fully transformed into Christ's likeness.

Romans 8:17-18 — According to Genesis 1–2, humanity is the crown of God's creation. Adam and Eve's innocent state before the God whose image and likeness they reflected represented the tremendous glory given to them. Sadly, all this was affected by the fall. What then is the ultimate goal of salvation? As wonderful as forgiveness of sin may be, is salvation merely that? As gracious as avoiding the eternal wrath of God in hell would be, is that all salvation is about? Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says in this sermon on salvation that God should be praised because salvation is so much more. Not only does the Christian attain the original glory of humanity in the garden, but in Christ they anticipate and will receive much more glory than Adam ever experienced – perfection. In this sermon on Romans 8:17–18 titled “Purpose of Salvation,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones lays out the apostle Paul's argument regarding the glorification that awaits the Christian. Glorification is the Christian's goal, not mere justification, and not even sanctification. Dr. Lloyd-Jones says a biblical view of glorification is important for Christian lives, especially during times of great suffering. In fact, Paul constantly connects suffering with glory in the life of the believer. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones brings out the great implications and application of this truth for the Christian life today.

This episode comes from the fourth session at the 2025 Pactum Conference, God's Great Gospel. Michael Beck speaks on glorification and the gospel.

When Jesus walked on the water, his disciples were terrified at first because they thought he was a ghost. What they thought was a threat to their well-being was actually Jesus coming to give them a great blessing. Believers are often afraid of suffering and trials, but we must realize that the Lord is always with us even in our sufferings. He uses them to accomplish his purposes in our lives and to prepare us for everlasting glory. Dr. Barnhouse shares this hopeful message on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Am I already saved? Am I in the process of being saved? Or will my salvation occur at some future time? The short answer is "yes" to all three. In this episode we will clear up confusion about the biblical concept of salvation, opening the way to a better understanding of our relationship with God and His intentions for us.

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.

Glorification is God's transformative work that begins now and continues throughout our lives, not just our eternal destination. Paul describes our earthly experience as camping in temporary tents while longing for our heavenly dwelling. This perspective helps us understand why we feel unsettled in this world and why suffering often shapes us more than comfort. While we're camping, God calls us to exercise cross-shaped authority through service and sacrifice, taking responsibility for what's within our reach. The Holy Spirit serves as our deposit, guaranteeing our eternal inheritance and providing evidence of God's work in our lives.

Northwest Bible Church – Oct. 26, 2025 – Reformation Day – Alan Conner Romans 5:1 The Doctrine of Justification Intro A. JUSTIFICATION: WHAT DOES IT MEAN? 1.  LBCF 11.1 -  Those whom God effectually calleth, he also freely justifieth, not by infusing righteous-ness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous; not for anything wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ's sake alone; .  .  . but by imputing Christ's active obedience unto the whole law, and passive obedience in his death for their whole and sole righteousness by faith, which faith they have not of themselves; it is the gift of God. 2. A legal declaration of being righteous, not to make them righteous (sanctification).  Lk. 7:29; Deut. 25:1; Prov. 17:15    B. JUSTIFICATION: HOW DOES IT OCCUR? 1. One lives a perfectly righteous life.    Jas. 2:10; Romans 3:10   2. One must be given a righteousness that is perfect.   Romans 3:24; 5:17; Phil. 3:9; 2 Cor. 5:21 3. The transaction of imputation or “credited.”  Romans 4:5  C. JUSTIFICATION: WHAT DOES IT GIVE?   1. Forgiveness of all our sins.  Romans 4:6-8; Col. 2:13 2. Imputed righteousness of Christ.    Phil. 3:9; 2 Cor. 5:21 3. The Great Exchange.   Double imputation.  D. JUSTIFICATION: WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN? 1. Accomplished at the cross.  Romans 3:24; 5:9 2. Applied at the moment of saving faith.  Romans 3:28; 5:1; Gal. 2:16 E. JUSTIFICATION: WHAT DOES IT RESULT IN? 1. Sanctification.    Jas. 2:26 2. Glorification.    Romans 8:1, 33-34, 30 Conclusion

Jim Keena | Guest Speaker | October 19, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 8:17-21, John 6:66-69, 2 Corinthians 4:17 Reflection Questions: 1. When have you faced a difficult situation that ultimately proved to be “worth it”? 2. Read Romans 8:17-21 aloud together. According to verse 17, what does it mean to be an “heir of God and co-heir with Christ”? Why does Paul connect being a child of God with sharing in Christ's sufferings as well as His glory? 3. In verse 18, Paul states that our current sufferings “are not worth comparing” with future glory. What could make it difficult for us to believe this in your life today? 4. Romans 8:18 speaks of the Christian's future glorification, when we will become a “perfected people”. Read and respond to the following definition: “In glorification, believers attain complete conformity to the image and likeness of the glorified Christ and are freed from both physical and spiritual defect. Glorification ensures that believers will never again experience bodily decay, death, or illness, and will never again struggle with sin. 5. Jim used the illustration of holding a 3x5 card marked “suffering” close to his eyes before moving it away to gain perspective. What helps you keep the proper perspective on suffering? How can others assist you in this? 6. Romans 8:19–21 depict creation yearning for renewal. What does this reveal about the extent of God's redemption? Romans 8 shows that both believers and creation are longing for freedom. How can we live today as people who hold onto hope in a world still affected by decay? What's your next step?

Romans 8:14 — Does the Christian ever long for Heaven? How often do they think of glorification? Christians often discuss sanctification and do not realize that it is only a part of the process for the end goal of glorification. Glorification can be understood because of the assurance in Christ Jesus. In this sermon on Romans 8:14 titled “Sons of the Living God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says the theme of Romans 8 is not sanctification, but rather the assurance of a Christian's salvation. It is the absolute security of the final perseverance of all who have been justified by Jesus Christ. As Paul works through this chapter to Romans, he has been outlining several reasons for this assurance. In Romans 8:14, he come to the assurance in terms of sonship with God, which Dr. Lloyd-Jones argues is also the theme of the whole of Scripture. Because glorification is the final goal for all Christians, God would never allow something to prohibit His people from getting there. Dr. Lloyd-Jones discusses four points: not all are children of God, Christians are children of God, what this sonship means, and the consequences of this sonship. He leaves the listener with an encouraging message: because Christians are sons and daughters of God, they can look out into this world and never experience despair or panic because they belong to the family of God.

Pastor Allan McCullough

The murder of Charlie Kirk in front of his family and thousands of students for the crime of debating with people has been a pivotal moment, and there have been several people saying that this changes everything, but what do they mean? And why does this truly change everything? We are going to answer those questions today on making the argument.-----⭐ SPONSOR: Good Ranchers Serve only the best meat to fuel your family!

If you're a believer in Christ, the Bible says you were chosen, then made alive, justified, adopted, and are being sanctified… but there's one step God hasn't yet brought to pass. The topic of glorification can seem like a distant, far-removed concept from our everyday lives. In reality, it's the culmination of your entire walk with Jesus. What will our glorified bodies look like? When will we get them? Listen in as we explore these questions and more in the finale of How Did I Get Saved?

Pastor Rick DeMichele

In this episode, my friend and I dive into the glorification of self and how pride often creeps into our lives—especially through achievements and success. Pride may feel like confidence at first, but it's the very thing that distances us from God.✨Watch the Podcast on YouTube✨www.youtube.com/@deathtoselfpodcastbyPearl✨Follow the podcast on TikTok✨https://www.tiktok.com/@deathtoselfpodcast?_t=8rotqEVc0Nb&_r=1✨Follow the podcast on instagram ✨https://www.instagram.com/deathtoselfpodcast?igsh=MWV1a243cGhxZTRlcw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr✨death to self playlist on Spotify ✨https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3YZWX13cOazDMzGIrmFQ5s?si=2S6-P19dRZe_bM3qCpt37A&pi=e-N_m0vvPIQR66✨death to self playlist on Apple Music ✨https://music.apple.com/za/playlist/death-to-self-playlist/pl.u-oZylDglIGaXvyMv

Aaron LeDuc – Romans 5:1-11

I'm a high maintenance friend (to my 1-2 friends LMAO) and while I do have low maintenance friends (that I love and care about), I sometimes feel like social media glorifies low maintenance friendships to an unhealthy extent and pushes the narrative that because we're getting older, we can only maintain low maintenance friendships and I completely DISAGREE. Let's talk about it!

Fr. Mike examines the next characteristic of the Church, the Church is holy, and he emphasizes two important ideas. The first is that the Church is unfailingly holy only because of God's gracious gift to us. The second is that each and every one of the activities of the Church are for two purposes: the sanctification of men in Christ and the glorification of God. We conclude with a reminder from St. Therese on the importance of charity, that love of God is the “vocation which includes all others.” Today's readings from the Catechism are paragraphs 823-829. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
