The doctrine of glorification states that believers will have their bodies raised and transformed, with those alive receiving new bodies to be with Jesus. It signifies God's final work of perfection, removing sin and renewing creation, culminating at the second coming of Christ. The glorified bodies will be imperishable, powerful, spiritual, and physical, providing assurance of salvation and strength for current struggles.
