What does glorification mean in a Christian context?

Answered in 1 source

Glorification refers to the future state of believers when they are conformed to the likeness of Christ and free from sin.

In Christian theology, glorification is the final stage of salvation where believers will be transformed to be like Christ in His glory. Romans 8:30 assures us that 'whom He justified, them He also glorified,' indicating that glorification is certain for all who are justified. This transformation involves being free from the corruption and taint of sin, as we will receive glorified bodies like Christ's. Philippians 3:20-21 affirms this hope, stating that our citizenship is in heaven and we await a Savior who will change our vile bodies to be like His glorious body. Glorification is a profound encouragement for believers, emphasizing the hope and future we have in Christ, where we will worship Him in perfect holiness and fellowship.
