What is glorification?
Glorification is the final, completed stage of salvation — believers will be raised with new, imperishable bodies and made perfectly conformed to Christ. Sin will be gone; the curse will be undone (Romans 8:30; 1 Corinthians 15).
"Those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified." Paul writes it in the past tense — it is certain.
Glorification is not floating spirits; it is bodily resurrection. Our new bodies will be physical, recognizable, but transformed — "sown perishable, raised imperishable."
Until then we live in the "already and not yet" — already justified, not yet glorified. We will be made what we already are.
