>>Glorification is the end result of our relationship with God. We will receive new, glorified bodies that will have an eternal perfection. Our hearts will also be transformed, not in a way that stifles our wills and therefore prevents us from sinning like a wall that keeps something out, or in. Rather our wills themselves will be transformed so that the desire to sin will be totally absent. In other words we will be like Christ in all possible ways. It would obviously not be possible for us to be God since we are created beings, yet it is possible for God to perfect our characters without denying us freedom.<<
If it is possible for such beings to exist (free-will yet perfect and no desire for evil), then why did God not create them in the first place?
Why go through the trouble of creating man, watching him fall from grace, sending Jesus as a sacrifice, redeeming a small minority of the people, and send the rest to eternal damnation? Would it not be much easier to just create the end result? Do you think God is incapable of creating the end result without the preceding process?
If the answer to these questions is to remind me that we cannot understand the mind and motives of God, then what makes you think that your understanding of God's methods (belief and acceptance of Jesus) and promises (you will then have Justification, Sanctification, and Glorification) are understood correctly by you? Do you understand just enough about God? |
