"For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." 1 John 3:8
There will be no thorough destruction of indwelling sin, until the body drops into the grave, and the soul mounts aloft to be with the Lord. Nor will there be a full destruction of its effects in the body until the resurrection morn, when the body shall be raised from the sleeping dust, and changed into the glorious image of the body of the Son of God, a fit companion for the immortal soul. Then will the victory be complete; then will Christ appear, shining forth with the lustre of a million suns; then will be the glorious manifestation of the Son of God and the works of the devil thoroughly destroyed. The burden of heaven's anthem, the grand theme of eternal adoration, will be the manifestation of the Son of God to destroy the works of the devil.
...
He will always wear his human nature; he will never lay that aside, but it will always shine resplendent with all the glory of Godhead. That will be the object of eternal admiration and love, and to that glory of the God-man all the saints in bliss will be forever looking and forever adoring, for sin will no longer have a being in them, but they will be conformed to the glorified image of the Son of God, and be celebrating forever the grand triumph of the cross.
