(3) For God’s
Full Glorification
--------------------
Christ as the firstborn Son of God and His believers as the many sons of God were born in resurrection to be a newborn child for God’s full glorification. The many brothers of Christ produced by the conviction and transmission of the Holy Spirit are for God’s full glorification (Rom. 8:30b , 17b ; Heb. 2:10 ; 1 Thes. 2:12). In particular, the Holy Spirit’s transmission to the believers of all that the Father and the Son have is the glorifying of the Son with the Father (John 16:13-15). The work of the Spirit is not only to convict the sinners that they might believe in Christ and be transferred out of Adam into Christ; it is also to reveal Christ with the fullness of the Father to all of these transferred believers that they might be built up with all the fullness of the Godhead in order to express the Triune God and to glorify the Son with the Father.
In keeping with John 16 , Romans 8 reveals that the purpose of God’s foreknowledge, predestination, and calling is to prepare and produce many brothers for His firstborn Son that they, together with God’s firstborn Son, may be the many sons of God with the divine life and nature for the expression of God (vv. 28-29). In 8:30 , Paul declares, “Those whom He predestined, these He also called; and those whom He called, these He also justified; and those whom He justified, these He also glorified. ” Glorification is the step in God’s complete salvation in which God will completely saturate our body of sin, which is of death and is mortal (7:24 ; 8:11 ; 6:6), with the glory of His life and nature according to the principle of His regenerating our spirit through the Spirit. In this way He will transfigure our body, conforming it to the resurrected, glorious body of His Son (Phil. 3:21). This is the ultimate step in God’s complete salvation, wherein God obtains a full expression, which will ultimately be manifested in the coming age.
Corresponding to John 16 and Romans 8 , Hebrews 2:10 shows that the many believers as the many brothers of Christ are for God’s full glorification: “For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in leading many sons into glory, to make the Author of their salvation perfect through suffering. ” The many sons here are the many brothers in Romans 8:29 . The last step of God’s great salvation is to bring His many sons into glory. Romans 8 tells us that God’s work of grace upon us began with His foreknowing, passed through His predestination, calling, and justification, and will end with His glorification. The glorification of the sons of God will be accomplished by the Lord’s coming back (Phil. 3:21), at which time we will be manifested with Him in glory (Col. 3:4). This is our hope (1:27). This glorification of the sons of God, as the goal of God’s salvation, will last through the millennial kingdom and will be manifested in full for eternity in the New Jerusalem—the ultimate consummation of the new man (Rev. 21:2 , 5 , 11 , 23).
