Matthew 24:12-13
Excerpted from: The Christian Paradox (Part One)Here we have three occasions where the verbal construction is passive future indicative. And this is great, this is really great. It means that the action will be done, that is the indicative part, to the subject, that is the passive part, at some later time. That is the future part. What I really thought was neat was the indicative. It will be done. So he who endures to the end will be saved—in the future by God. And the same with this here in I Corinthians 3, where a person goes through a great deal and he fails, but he is still faithful. All this is burned by fire, it says, but he will be saved.
These verses signify that salvation has a future aspect as well, which we call glorification. So we had justification, sanctification, and glorification. They are three parts of the salvation process. And glorification is where the process becomes complete. It ends. The product is made, has been produced, and the Christian at that point is changed to spirit in the resurrection. When Christ comes in His glory, that is when the saints will rise and that process is then complete. They are glorified in Christ and share in His glory. If you want to, all of that is I Corinthians 15; I John 3; and Revelation 14 and 20. In Revelation it is like the first five verses of those two chapters.
Matthew 24:12-13
Excerpted from: The Paradox of Terror and RejoicingJesus said to His disciples in Matthew 24:12-13 that love will wax cold, "but he that endures to the end, the same shall be saved." Therefore, for the wicked world, love will be destroyed by hardened hearts, but for the faithful, obedient believers, the love of Christ will dwell in our hearts and its glory will be known beyond human comprehension.
