August 8, 2025 – Justified, Sanctified, Glorified
1 John 3:2
Sermon: 2418 My Heart—God’s Home, Part 2
Pray Over This
“Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
1 John 3:2
Ponder This
When you get saved, you are justified immediately in your spirit. This means you are made right with God. The Bible speaks of the spirits of just people being made perfect. Every sin, every blot, every blur, every blemish, every stain is buried in the grave of God’s forgetfulness.
Not only are you justified immediately in your spirit, but you are also sanctified progressively in your soul. God is working on you each day to make you more like the Lord Jesus Christ.
Then, you are glorified ultimately in the body. One of these days, He’s going to change my vile body so that it might be like His glorious body. What I’m going to be like, I don’t know, but I know one thing: I’m going to be like Jesus, and that’s good enough for me. We can’t be dogmatic about details we can’t understand. We just hold onto the hope and joy that we are going to be like the Lord Jesus Christ. That is not just a far-off hope but a present reality that we see more each day and will see ultimately in glory.
- What are some ways God has shaped you to be more like Him during your time as a Christian?
- What are some areas of your life that don’t reflect Jesus? How can those areas begin to change and reflect Christ?
Practice This
Ask God to help you in the areas where you don’t reflect Him. Ask Him to make you more like Him each day.
