[Now we will consider the last three of the eight steps of God´s organic salvation.] Building up is a matter of the believer´s growth in the divine life and their being joined together with other believers in the divine life ( Eph. 4:15-16). Renewing issues in transformation, and transformation issues in building up. This is fully proven by the wall with its foundations of the New Jerusalem. The wall of the New Jerusalem is of jasper, expressing the appearance of God(Rev. 4:3). While the jasper stones were being transformed they were joined together and built up into wall.
We should not think that to be built up is only to be closely related to other believers in a natural way. This is not the way to be built up. The proper way to be built up is to grow together in the divine life. While we are growing, this growth joins us all together as one.
Conformation is to be conformed to the full-grown image of the firstborn Son of God, who is the first God-man, as the prototype for mass reproduction. He is God mingled with man and man mingled with God to live a God-man living that expresses all the attributes of God as human virtues for the expression of the divine glory in humanity, whose ultimate consummation, whose maturity in the divine life, is the New Jerusalem ( Rom. 8:29; 1:4; Eph. 4:14; Rev 21).
Glorification is to be saturated with the divine glory from within in the maturity of the divine life and to be glorified from without by and with the divine glory as the finalization of God´s judicial redemption of the believers´ body and the top portion of the divine sonship in God´s organic salvation (Rom. 8:30; Heb. 2:10; Phil. 3:21; Eph. 4:30; Rom. 8:23)
Ephesians 4:30 says that we have been sealed with the Holy Spirit"unto the day of redemption." Redemption here refers to the redemption of our body. The Holy Spirit as the seal in up is sealing us continually with the element of God until our body is redeemed, that is, transfigured and glorified. This means that glorification is a matter of saturation.... If we see this, we will realize that glorification is not merely objective but very subjective. The time of full saturation will be the time of the redemption of our body. ( The Divine and Mystical Realm, pp. 29-31)
