Sin & Salvation: Justification to Glorification
This week we conclude our Sin & Salvation series with a look at the third aspect of Salvation, which is Glorification: Being saved from the presence of sin. Glorification is a future event where we no longer live with the presence or sin, or have a sin nature, and are able to stand face to face with God. We will also wrap up the series with a look at how the three aspects of Salvation work together and that while the works we do cannot save us, they are still important in determining our place in eternity with Christ.
