How do we know Jesus will be glorified at His return?

The assurance that Jesus will be glorified at His return is anchored in the authoritative testimony of Scripture, particularly in 2 Thessalonians 1:10. This prophecy emphasizes the dual aspect of glorification: the inherent glory of Christ as God and the reflected glory of His people transformed by His grace. Apostolic writings affirm that on that great day, believers will not only witness Christ's glory but also share in it, being admired by Him as those who have believed in His name.

Furthermore, this is consistent with the teachings of Christ Himself who indicated in John 14:20 that the relationship between believers and Him leads to mutual indwelling and knowledge. This intimate connection to Christ fuels the hope that His ultimate glory will not only be seen but also experienced by His saints. The promise of glorification is preservation of divine grace that assures His faithful will never lose sight of their Savior’s righteousness and beauty.
