CHAPTER FOURTEEN

THE GLORIFICATION OF THE SAINTS

---

1.         T          F          The glorification of the saints is the end of that golden chain of Divine grace that begins with God’s foreordination and predestination.

2.         T          F          Foreknowledge is not of the actions of certain ones, but rather of their persons, so that by no stretch of the imagination can this be in reference to foreseen faith.

3.         T          F          Glorification is the point at which the doctrine of salvation and the doctrine of the last things overlap.

4.         T          F          If a man would be sure of his glorification, he must make sure of his calling and election, which alone guarantees his abundant entrance into the Lord’s everlasting kingdom of glory.

5.         T          F          Glorification is not the same thing as rewards, although the two are related, for glorification is the lot of every truly born again soul, though he may not have done a single deed in his Christian life that is worthy of reward.

6.         Glory has to do with that sublime and ____________ ____________ and ____________ that lies just beyond the present life.

7.         Bible speaks of salvation under three tenses:

            A.        ____________.

            B.        ____________.

            C.        ____________.

8.         T          F          There is no uncertainty in anything with the Lord, for He knows all things, and He controls all things.

9.         T          F          Where judgment and reward are concerned God is totally impartial and shows no respect of persons.

10.       T          F          In election and salvation God shows respect to some over others, for the very word “elect” implies the choice of some and the leaving of others.

11.       T          F          God has not pledged Himself to reward every rightly motivated service done unto Him by enhancing that initial glory.

12.       The believer is not arbitrarily and groundlessly glorified, but he is assured of glorification on the basis of association with the glorified Christ.

13.       God’s order in time for man is:

            A.        ____________.

            B.        ____________.

            C.        ____________.

14.       The word “called” is used in two senses in the Bible doctrine of salvation: (p. 409)

            A.        The ____________ Call.

            B.        The ____________ Call.

15.       The believer in Christ receives the glory of Christ ____________ in salvation, for ____________ is grounded in salvation, being actually a part of it.

16.       It is as much by Christ’s risen and glorified life, as by His sacrificial death, that we find acceptance with the ____________, for His ____________ is imputed to us.

17.       The believer cannot be physically ____________ until the ____________ ____________ of Christ, for it is there and at that time that the degree of his glory will be determined.

18.       The Divine order of all this is presented in 1 Thessalonians 4:16‑17 of Christ’s return is:

            A.        The ____________ of ____________ from heaven.

            B.        The ____________ of the body.

19.       T          F          The time of the glorification of the saints will be at the time of Christ’s own enthronement over all the earth.

20.       The order of actions in Christ’s return are:

            A.        ____________.

            B.        ____________.

            C.        ____________.

21.       T          F          He has determined to allow us to suffer a while for His glory, which is itself a gift of His grace.

22.       This association in ____________ is based upon the happy fact that God’s plan and purpose has always been to ____________ every true believer to the image of Jesus Christ.

23.       T          F          Just as God the Father and God the Son, being one, share the things that are common to each, so the true saint, being associated with Christ, shares His glory which the Father has given to Him.

24.       T          F          One of Satan’s subtle lies with which he sidetracks many sincere souls, is the lie that it is too costly to be a Christian.

25.     Many fail the test of what is most ____________ to them, and through ____________, which is always self‑defeating, they lose the ultimate good.
