a light bulb. The expression of electricity is the glory of electricity. We cannot see electricity it self, but the shining of electricity in the light is the expression, the glory of electricity. Likewise, glory is God expressed.

This glory is coming, and nothing can com pare with it. Several verses show us that God will bring many sons into glory (Rom. 8:18; 2 Cor. 4:17; 1 Thes. 2:12; Heb. 2:10; 1 Pet. 5:10). Here and now we enjoy God in hope of this coming glory. While we are enjoying Him, we hope for the glory to come.

BEING SAVED IN CHRIST'S LIFE

As we enjoy God in this way, we are being saved in His life (5:10). "Much more, we shall be saved in His life." Daily we need to be saved from so many negative things. We need to be saved from our temper and our self. As we enjoy God in our sufferings, we need the saving in His life. We need to be saved in His life from the besetting sin, that is, to be freed from the law of sin and death. We need to be saved in His life from being worldly, that is, to be sanctified. We need to be saved in His life from our natural being, that is, to be transformed from our natu ral life. We need to be saved in His life from being

self-like, that is, to be conformed to the image of Christ, the firstborn Son of God. And we need to be saved in His life from being individualistic, that is, to be built up with others into one Body. These are the savings in the life of Christ, which are fully defined in the following chapters of Romans. This kind of saving in life is the main enjoyment we have in God.

Justification has brought us into the realm of enjoyment. In this realm we stand in grace, walk in peace, suffer in hope, and enjoy God in our tribulations. While we are suffering and enjoy ing, we are being saved in His life. This is the issue of justification.
