Theology Terms Explained: “Glorification”

Glorification is vital for the Christian to understand because this concept is tied to our hope for the future. Glorification is the final state for believers, in that we are no longer sinful, no longer sick, no longer in our human form, and no longer subject to the attacks of the evil one. Glorification is a promise from God that if we believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, we will have experienced justification, salvation, sanctification, and then glorification. This is the realization of every blessing and treasure that Christ has laid up for us in heaven (1 Peter 1:3-5).

Ecclesiology is the study of the church and deals with all aspects of the church including its purpose, structure, ordinances, and more.

Theology Terms Explained: “Hamartiology”

Hamartiology is the theological study of sin and it comes from the New Testament Greek word hamartia which means to “miss the mark.” This is where we get the idea that sin is “missing the mark” of God’s standard (Romans 3:23) and the truth that without a solution for our sin we are damned to eternity in hell.

Theology Terms Explained: “Illumination”

Illumination is what happens when you learn spiritual truths that suddenly make sense and move you to action. Just like a bright light that lights up a dark room when turned on, illumination is when the light bulb goes on in your mind after reading a passage of Scripture or listening to the Word of God be preached.
