    Whom he justified, them he also glorified.—Romans 8:30.

    Hath the Lord said it? He will also do it.
    ...
    Though humbled souls lie low in self-abasement, yet their views are exalted to the highest confidence, by God's purposes, declarations, and promises in Christ Jesus. So they are established in the truth.

    All the blessings of grace and glory are sure to every believer; for all such are in Jesus beloved, justified and saved in the sight of God. So also in themselves, they are discharged from guilt, absolved from punishment, acquitted from the curse of the law. When the comforter brings the sweet knowledge of this to the conscience, then how do they triumph in Jesus! Satan cannot see this without envy. Then he stirs up all the powers of nature and corrupt reason to stop their glorying. Some miserable teachers are not aware whom they serve, when they talk of Jesus' righteous, justified members being consigned over to eternal damnation. Justification by faith is a fruit of electing love. All such as are chosen to salvation, they can never perish.
    ...
    And the Lord the Spirit glorifies every justified soul. The church, the King's daughter, he makes all-glorious within now. So each member hath a meetness for glory above. The glory of God lies near the hearts of sanctified souls. The way of truth and the paths of holiness are their delight. Sanctification of the Spirit is inseparable from belief of the truth. Both spring from the electing love of God the Father, and shall most assuredly issue in certain salvation of every happy subject.
    ...
    To God the only wise,
    Saviour and our King,
    Let all the saints below the skies
    Their humble praises bring.

    Soon all the chosen seed
    Shall meet around the throne,
    Shall bless the conduct of his grace,
    And make his wonders known.

    "Lord the Spirit glorifies every justified soul."

    1) Who, which Person of the Trinity, is the "Lord the Spirit?" 2 Corinthians 3:18 uses a similar term to refer to the Second Person of the Trinity. We start with our spiritual glorification, when we are born anew as children of God, having undergone the washing of regeneration, and we will end with our bodily resurrection where we will be raised in glory. 1 Corinthians 15:43.

    2) When we look at ourselves in a mirror, we see a reflection, filtered by our perception of ourselves. Is Christ looking back at us, as we are becoming more like Christ, or do we see the realm of darkness, a mortal body on the road to decay?

    3) Every justified soul refers to every human spirit transferred into Christ based on God crediting their faith as righteousness. And once in Christ the soul undergoes the washing of regeneration, which results in being born anew, spiritually alive together with Christ, completely forgiven for past, present and future sin.
