The term glorification is generally used in Scripture of Jesus Christ or God's people. The glorification of Jesus indicates the divine perfections manifested through His person and works (John 1:14; 2:11; John 17:2). Christ's glorification was particularly revealed in "the hour" of His suffering on the cross (John 12:23) and in His resurrection with a transformed body of power, glory, and immortality (1 Corinthians 15:43; Philippians 3:20-21; Hebrews 2:9; Revelation 1:18). The nature of Christ's person as the God-man and His perfect accomplishment of redemption make Him worthy to "receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing" (Revelation 5:12 cf. v. 13; Philippians 2:9-11; 1 Peter 2:9). The glorification of God's people refers specifically to the changed body that both dead and living believers "in Christ" receive at His return (Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Philippians 3:20-21; I Thessalonians 4:16-17; 1 John 3:1-2). Glorification is the final stage of personal salvation and accomplishes God's purpose to conform each believer to Christ's image as perfected humanity (Romans 8:29).
