Sermon Notes

1. YOUR LIFE IS HIDDEN
2. CHRIST WHO IS YOUR LIFE
3. THEN YOU ALSO WILL APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY

John Murray — Redemption Accomplished and Applied
union with Christ is . . . the central truth of the whole doctrine of salvation. . . . It is not simply a phase of the application of redemption; it underlies every aspect of redemption”

JUSTIFICATION | What does it mean to be in Christ?
SANCTIFICATION | How do we live in light of this identity?
GLORIFICATION | What does it mean to “appear with him in glory?”

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Romans 8:16–17
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

Romans 8:15
you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

1 John 3:2
Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

Peter O’Brien
Our heavenly life will be fully manifest in all its glory when Christ who embodies it appears at his Parousia. We too who share his life will share his glorious epiphany. What is now secretly present shall be revealed when Christ shall appear.

Joseph Lightfoot
Then you also will appear with him. The veil which now shrouds your higher life from others, and even partly from yourselves, will then be withdrawn. The world which persecutes, despises, ignores now will then be blinded with the dazzling glory of the revelation.

Cornerstone
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
