Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
I Tim3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Salvation
Justification – Speaks of our status that we have before God.
Sanctification – It is our calling of your ministries.
Glorification – It is about our inheritance.
Paul says those justified are also glorified.
Jesus is alpha & omega.
Rev 1:8, 21:6, 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
We are already glorified in Christ & through what He accomplished.
Sanctification – God is working out in His people.
Justification-We are now
Sanctification – present
Glorification – What we become future.
Justified means we are totally accepted by God, which is already accomplished by Jesus when we are born-again.
It is a gift from the heavenly Father, we are made righteous.
Sanctification – It is set apart as He totally accepted us for His purposes.
Acts 20:32 “And now I entrust you to God and the word of his grace—his message that is able to build you up and give you an inheritance with all those he has set apart for himself.
Acts26:18 “to open their eyes so they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people, who are set apart by faith in me.’
I Cor6:11 There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away,* and you have been set apart for God. You have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you.
Psalm4: 3 You can be sure of this: he Lord has set apart the godly for himself. The Lord will answer when I call to him.
Jesus said everyone will be rewarded for what we done in the sanctified process. And We have same inheritance but not the same reward. The REWARD IS GLORIFICATION

When we are born again we are totally accepted and placed in Christ because we are justified.
Sanctified is working because we are living in Christ. Jesus says abide in me
John14: 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;
John12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
John15:4-7 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KINGDOM OF GOD, ITS IN US.

LIVING KINGDOM LIFE

HOLY PEOPLE
Jude1:3 Dearly loved friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the truth of the Good News.* God gave this unchanging truth once for all time to his holy people.
Heb13:12 Col1:26 Col3:12 Icor1:2
II Tim4:1 And so I solemnly urge you before God and before Christ Jesus—who will someday judge the living and the dead when he appears to set up his Kingdom:
John5:3, 5 Jesus replied, “I assure you, unless you are born again,* you can never see the Kingdom of God.” Jesus replied, “The truth is, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.
Luke18:17 I assure you, anyone who doesn’t have their kind of faith will never get into the Kingdom of God.”
Jesus said to Pharisees, I know who I am and where I go and where I come from. That’s perfect faith and being positive
What I do is from who I am
Everyone should have eternal perspective else you will not have motivation.
Christians will not sin if they have eternal perspective.
The line between Sanctification and Glorification is JUDGEMENT
Everyone including believers and non-believers has judgment.
Wheat will be separated from tares and goats from sheep.
There is a sense that we are saved and still need to be saved.
The world needs to have the fear of God and His purposes.
If it is sin in the bible then it is sin on the day of judgment. He will not change anything.
Romans 4:3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

We receive the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:16; 2 Corinthians 5:21). But first we obtain faith by the righteousness of God. Our faith comes from God and returns to Him as we exercise it in response to Jesus Christ.
