In Christian theology, **justification**, **sanctification**, and **glorification** represent the three distinct stages of the complete process of salvation by God's grace.

**1\. Justification- Past / my position in Christ**

- **Nature:** A one-time, instantaneous legal act by God.
- When you surrender to Jesus
- **Definition:** God declares a guilty sinner righteous based on faith in Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice.
- **Focus:** Saved from the **penalty** of sin (removed condemnation and guilt).

Justification does not make anyone holy. 

Justification essentially means that before God we are found not guilty of sin and therefore treated as holy. 

Believers in Jesus Christ - Surrender 

Trust Jesus Christ - by faith 

We have been saved from the penalty of sin

We are spiritually born again redeemed in Christ 

New life! -conversion- you are a new creature  
Born twice die once - eternal life with Jesus 

Born once die twice - eternal death in the lake of fire   

Romans 5:1-5 AMP - Results of Justification

Therefore, since we have been justified \[that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God\] by faith, \[let us grasp the fact that\] we have peace with God \[and the joy of reconciliation with Him\] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have access by faith into this \[remarkable state of\] grace in which we \[firmly and safely and securely\] stand. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of \[experiencing and enjoying\] the glory of \[our great\] God \[the manifestation of His excellence and power\]. 3 And not only this, but \[with joy\] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance; 4 and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance \[of eternal salvation\]. 5 Such hope \[in God’s promises\] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

2 Timothy 2:15-16 AMP - Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman \[tested by trial\] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth. 16 But avoid all irreverent babble and godless chatter \[with its profane, empty words\], for it will lead to further ungodliness,

Surrender to Jesus Christ and make it a daily habit to study his word; get to know him on an intimate level he’s your only hope 

Are you ready? 

Jesus is coming! 

Be blessed and be a blessing
