In the book of Romans, the apostle speaks of the two basic problems a fallen sinner has before God when he says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23). The first problem here is that of sin; that is something we are all aware of. But, what does it mean to say we “fall short of the glory of God”? It means that, because we are now corrupted by sin, we cannot enter into the glory God created us to have. And this relates to the purpose for which God created us in the first place, namely, that of receiving His divine life so we could become His many sons in glory.
So, to look at this verse in a positive way, it shows us God’s desire is for us to have His divine glory. And today the goal of His salvation in the New Testament is indeed to bring us into that glory.
This concept of salvation is far beyond that of merely having our sins forgiven, and, it must be said, far beyond the view of salvation so many Christians have been taught today. The book of Romans surely does explain how God deals with the guilt of our sins (chps. 3-5), but it does not stop there; rather, it then goes on to show us how God brings us into His divine glory as the many sons of God who are fully conformed to the image of the glorified Christ (chps. 5-8, esp. 8:29-30; cf. Heb. 2:10). And in this way, He deals with both of the problems Paul speaks of above.This is what we must see today if we are to truly grasp the New Testament concept of salvation.
