At the coming of Christ the sons of God will be manifested…
““At the coming of Christ the sons of God will be manifested by the restoration of the lost covering. Nor is it difficult to prove that the recovery of a visible glory will be the instant result of the restoration of spirit soul and body to perfect order and harmony, the sign of our manifestation as the sons of God. But it will then shine with far more intense brilliancy than it did in Adam: for, as we have before seen, the body of unfallen man was not a spiritual body. The spirit did indeed exercise a mighty and vigorous influence, but the soul was the ruling power, even as it continues to be: for the first man became a living soul.[177] But when the resurrection, or the change consequent upon our Lord’s return, takes place, our bodies will become spiritual:[178] the God-consciousness will be supreme in us, holding both soul and body in absolute control, and shedding forth the full power of its glory without let or hindrance.””
