Because we are FORGIVEN we (1) have been Justified, (2) are being Sanctified and (3) will be Glorified. Our Justification is behind us. In Christ, we are saved from the PENALTY of sin. Our Sanctification is ongoing. In Christ, we are being saved from the POWER of sin. Our Glorification is coming. In Christ, we will be saved from the PRESENCE of sin. God’s offer of forgiveness and redemption is available to everyone but it is only effective for those who actually repent and receive Jesus Christ as their LORD & SAVIOR.
