The total Christian experience is often described in three distinct phrases: justification, sanctification, and glorification.
Justification-being declared righteous before God through faith in Jesus Christ-is a point-in-time event. It is the time in our lives when we are saved.
Sanctification is our growth in Christlikeness. It is a progressive experience covering our entire Christian lives from salvation to glorification.
Glorification occurs at the time we depart from this life to be with Christ.
