Continuation of our discussion of spiritual formation (of 1/29/13):
The Bible is there (in the holy place, symbolized by the showbread, and in the most holy place, symbolized by the pot of manna inside the Ark of the Covenant). Obviously it is the priority for our sanctification (holy place) and for our glorification (most holy place). We should here understand the word 'glorification' as meaning 'restoring in men the glory of God, which is His character'. It is not the glorification of the body which will happen AFTER Jesus comes out of the sanctuary, when He comes back to earth. There is no bodily glorification in the sanctuary. I say this because this is what many people think the word 'glorification' means when we talk of the most holy place ministry: bodily glorification.
