The Daily Word of Righteousness
From Justification to Glorification, #11
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:4)
We are to appear with Christ to the world as an eternally incorruptible, integral part of His Divine Glory.
The glory of the thousand-year Kingdom Age will be revealed to the world through the saints.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18)
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. (II Thessalonians 1:10)
"The glory which shall be revealed in us." "When he shall come to be glorified in his saints."
We are justified, delivered from sin, changed, filled with the fullness of God, and brought into restful union with God to the end that we may be glorified together with Christ as His brothers.
The sons of God shall be revealed in glory, and that Divine glory will release the material creation from the bondage of futility and corruption.
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. (Romans 8:21)
Our inner nature is to be filled with the Presence of God in Christ. The change from the animal to the Divine is taking place today. The Divine Glory being prepared in us now will be revealed to the world at the coming of Christ.
The glory is hidden in our flesh-and-blood, sin-oppressed body.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (II Corinthians 4:7)
The light in the jars of Gideon's army was revealed when the jars were broken. In the Day of the Lord our animal body will be "broken" and then swallowed up by a body of such power and life that all resistance to the will of Christ in us shall be swept away.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (I John 3:2)
"We shall be like Him."
Our mortal body will be adopted by the Lord. By His unlimited power He will transform our body until it resembles His glorious body.
Who shall change our vile body [the body of our humbling], that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. (Philippians 3:21)
God knew us by name from the beginning of the creation. He predestined us to be changed into the image of Christ so that Christ might be the Firstborn among many brothers—brothers who, although not as great in glory, rank, authority, or power as He, nonetheless have been born of God.
The Only Begotten has become the First Begotten. We, as Christ's brothers, have learned obedience through suffering just as He did. We have carried our cross through this world as He did. We have shared His power and His sufferings. We have suffered that we may be glorified together with Him. Through Him we have overcome the world just as He did.
To be continued.
