Glorification, is the perfect transforming of the Saints into the image of the Son of God. Phil. 3.21. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 1. Cor. 15.44. It is sown a natural body, and is raised a spiritual body: there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45. As it is also written, The first man Adam was made a living soul: the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Verse. 49. And as we have borne ⟨image 142⟩the image of the earthly, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly. Psal. 17.15. I will behold thy face in righteousness, and when I awake, I shall be satisfied with thine image.
