Foundational Faith Statement #34: What do justification, sanctification, and glorification mean? Justification is God’s declaration of our righteous standing made possible by Christ’s death and resurrection for us. Sanctification is our gradual, growing righteousness, made possible by the Spirit’s work in us. Glorification is our full and final state of righteousness made possible by Christ’s return when we receive our resurrection bodies and become like the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:29–30; Rom. 4:5; 2 Cor. 3:18; 2 Thess. 1:10).
