Our salvation from God's perspective

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus...” Ephesians 2:6
This is an interesting verse to meditate upon. It talks about our future salvation – our glorification, the time when our fleshly bodies are transformed and we enter into eternity with Christ, free from sin and the curse it brings. But if you notice, it talks about all these things which we presently look forward to, as if they have already happened. They are written about in the same way as the things in Eph. 2:5 – “[God] made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms...” (emphasis added).
The reason for this is that Paul is looking at things from God’s perspective. We see ourselves as having been justified, we are being sanctified, and we will be glorified. For some Christians, there’s an element of doubt in their minds that they will reach that final stage of glorification. But from God’s point of view, our entire salvation is complete. He sees us as already glorified, in heaven!
This should be of great comfort to us. If you know that you have been justified, saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, then you can rest assured that the future hope of being glorified is a certainty. Paul wrote elsewhere, “being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:6).
