Glorification

Facing sin, suffering, and an uncertain future, it's easy to become pessimistic, but believers in Christ know the best is yet to come. God promises that one day he will redeem his image bearers and renew the earth. Few books are written on the doctrine of glorification, but its promise of restoration brings urgent hope for Christ followers. In this addition to the Short Studies in Systematic Theology series, Graham A. Cole examines the concept of divine glory as well as God's plan for redeeming individual believers, the church, and the universe. Identifying two phases of glorification—one in this life and a final transformation into Christlikeness—Cole defines the role of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the sanctification process. Through careful study of Scripture, he shows Christians how their future identity as glorified beings should impact their perspective today. This concise study walks through the plotline of Scripture to explain redemptive history, the Trinitarian work of glorification, and the future of unbelievers, drawing on the stories of Moses, Isaiah, and Ezekiel, as well as the topics of creation, the incarnation, the transfiguration of Jesus, and the picture of the new earth in Revelation.
