July 18


“Whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” Romans 8:30

According to this Scripture, all who have been called and justified have already been glorified. The goal is attained. The Church has already come to glory. The ultimate reality is before God all the time. He sees the Church utterly pure, utterly perfect.

Spiritual growth is not so much a question of pressing through to some far-off and abstract goal, as of seeing God’s ultimate standard in heaven and living in the power of that reality. Spiritual progress comes by finding out what you really are, not by trying to be what you hope to become. As we move forward to the basis of God’s eternal facts, we shall see, here and now, the progressive manifestation of those facts in Christian lives.
