Our Glorification

Will We Be Recognized?

THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE

You heard it said, “be the better version of yourself” right? Well, there’s some truth to that statement but not in the way that you might think. As believers we one day will be just that, we call that state glorification.

I’ve had discussions with brothers and the topic of glorification always comes up and the question I’m always asked is this, “will we recognize each other?”. “Are we going to appear as we look in this current state?”. Well according to the scriptures it does say in the Book of John 20:16, that we will be recognizable as ourselves. Inverse 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!”.

Another wrong assumption by many is that we will be disembodied spirits in eternity. Will we have the same names in heaven as we do here on earth? The answer to those questions is yes not only that but our bodies will be indestructible are glorified body will be permanent and indestructible.1 Corinthians 15:22-23, Philippians 3:20-21.

Freed From Sin

Our bodies will no longer be vulnerable or under the corruption of sins curse Romans 6:8-9. 1 Corinthians 15:42 Just like Jesus Christ, our bodies will be eternally sustained by resurrected life. We will be able to serve our Lord without worry, anxiety, and the limitations of time. We will not have any fear of injury or threat, just righteous boldness to accomplish everything the Lord has given us.

Imagine a life free from disease, deterioration, temptations, and depravity these will no longer plague our outlook on our living. We will never get over the experience and joy of metabolic perfection throughout eternity!

Clothed in White Garments

We will be clothed in white shining robes, The glorious clothing of triumphal joy. Just as the resurrection of Christ and his appearance in the transfiguration we will be like Jesus in our resurrected bodies We will be adorned with robes of splendor. Matthew 17:2.

Sons Of The Resurrection

Lastly, we will be a part of the “sons of the resurrection” who like the angels and “sons of God” cannot die! The celestial Life will be without existence of physical or spiritual death. Heaven will lose no one and no one will need to be replaced. Everlasting life, amen.
