What all did God accomplish for us when we were saved?
At salvation, God accomplished on our behalf justification, sanctification, forgiveness, baptism into the Body, and glorification. Believers are already glorified in God's sight, though it is not visible to others. God sees the believer as Christ Jesus, not in themselves.
Les explains that as a result of the salvation experience, God accomplished several things for us: we were justified, sanctified, forgiven, baptized into the Body, and glorified. He notes the verse repeats that those God justified, He also glorified. Though believers do not walk around with a halo or an angelic presence, God sees them as glorified. Les points to the Mount of Transfiguration, where Peter, James, and John saw Christ literally glorified, even His clothing radiating the very glory of heaven. Since God says we are glorified, we cannot see it on each other, but God sees it when He looks on us, seeing us not only as justified but also as glorified.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
