Bible Note: Tammy: This is my first time posting here and so I hope you do not mind, but here is what I really believe the scripture teaches to what you mentioned. Salvation is expressed as three parts in the NT. Justification, Rom 5: 18 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life. Sanctification, 1Th 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Glorification, Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. The word salvation often refers to one of the above aspects. So the context often declares which one is in affect. In Hebrews 9 starting with verse 23 we find that sacrifices of the OT were only temporary and needed a better sacrifice in Jesus. V24 indicates the earthly sacrifices of hand/man were not complete. Christ went in to the heavens as to sacrifice which was ultimate and satisfactory or much better. V27 states the judgment after death of human body. So the questions are. First this is looking eagerly or anticipation of his coming. All and I mean all, even the dead in Christ are anticipating there glorification in Christ. By faith we all look for glorification to happen. 1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. Oh, what glorification that will be as we say, Abba Father. Now as far as faith without works. I think James is a better passage. The OT has an excellent illustration that many never grasp. But I believe is essential to ones faith. When you hear the word law start thinking of instructions and teachings. That is the true meaning. The OT has over 640 laws or instructions and teachings. The patriarchs tried to live by them with earnest intent. Knowing they failed they offered sacrifices daily. That shows how temporally those earthly sacrifices were. But Romans 11 shows there faith was counted for righteousness to these patriarchs. Now flip that over to the NT. There is over 1000 laws or teachings and instructions in the NT. If you thought the OT was hard to abide by. Try the NT. Christ asked us to count our cost. Luk 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]? The law or instructions and teachings will never save us. But it brings us to the cross on bended knees for salvation by grace. When we look at the law or instructions and teachings we see how in adequate we are and in need of justification. And how weak we are in the flesh and need sanctification. But knowing we will be like him in glorification. II Timothy 3:15-17 Justification; v15—“faith in Christ Jesus” saves us from eternal damnation. Sanctification; v16-“scripture…..doctrine, reproof, instruction” saves us to a correct living Glorification; v17-“man of God may be perfect”. Saves us to be as He is.
