Welcome to BIG Bible Words!
During this series, you'll be learning some BIG WORDS from the Bible. Grown-Ups call them "THEOLOGY" words - Theology simply means "Theo" (God) "ology" (the study of) so.... THEO-OLOGY is just the Study of God. During this series you'll learn some BIG WORDS, but you'll also learn there are usually some little words that mean the same thing. As Pastor Karl says, "Grown up are big, so they like Big Words, but there are little words that mean the same thing," and make learning the Big Words easier!
WEEK EIGHT
Can you UNSCRAMBLE this BIG WORD?
A-C-F-G-I-I-I-L-N-O-O-R-T
Here's a HINT at what it means:
READY for the BIG WORD?
That’s a BIG WORD! “Glorification!” (Can you say it?)
It’s a BIG WORD that simply means “Forever!”
Glorification is God’s promise that one day, when we are with Him in heaven, He will make everything brand-new — including us! No more sickness, no more sadness, no more sin. We will be fully like Jesus, completely transformed, and with Him forever.
Right now, we’re saved (that’s salvation), we’re growing (that’s sanctification), but one day we’ll be completely changed — that’s glorification! It’s God’s final step in His amazing plan for His children. Just like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, glorification means God will finish His work in us and we’ll become everything He created us to be — perfect, joyful, and with Him forever.
Glorification reminds us that following Jesus isn’t just about this life — it’s about an amazing forever life with Him!

- 1 John 3:2 – “When Christ appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
