From a classical Protestant perspective, the word "Justify" would mean that your sins have been forgiven and God considers you to be legally innocent of all charges; "Sanctify" implies that you are actually working on becoming innocent & pure (i.e.: sinless); and, "Glorify" would imply finally reaching perfection in Heaven.

There is now "heirship" to eternal life. Titus 3: 7.
Righteous living becomes possible. Philippians 1: 11. 1John 3: 7.
The JUISTIFIED person is assured that he or she will be SAVED from the coming wrath of GOD. Romans 5: 9. 1Thesalonians 1: 10.
The person is assured of GLORIFICATION (Going to Heaven). Matthew 13: 43. Romans 8: 30.
Galatians 5: 5.
The moment a person believes in Jesus The Christ that person is SANCTIFIED.
Notice in The Bible that the believers are called SAINTS? ALL believers are saints. That is because they have been sanctified. It does NOT mean perfect! 1 Corinthians 1: 2. Ephesians 1: 1. Colossians 1: 2. Hebrews 10: 10. Jude 3.
In 1Corinthians we have proof that one can still be "fleshy" and be SAVED or Sanctified.
Christ Sanctified the SAVED by the shedding of HIS own blood. Hebrews 13: 12.
The new believer is now COMPLETE in HIM. Colossians 2: 10.
Heirs to the Holiness NOT THROUGH ANY EFFORTS OF THEIR OWN.

Define Glorify

When we are saved by Christ we are "Justified" in the eyes of God. We are able to go to heaven, the price has been paid according to God we are sinless because he judges Christ in our place.
When we go to heaven we will be "glorified". We will be adopted sons and daughter of the King.
When on earth the Father tries to make you more Christ like. While you'll never reach perfection or sinlessness you will become more "sanctified", more holy, a better Christian.

Justify - declare guiltless
Sanctify - set apart to God
Glorify - honor, worship
With the Lord Jesus Christ we are justified and sanctified and then we can glorify Him in Spirit and Truth.
I hope this helps dear one.

JUSTIFY means to declare innocent and to credit the righteousness of Christ to the repentant sinner's life record in heaven. The sinner is considered righteous through the imputed righteousness of Christ.
SANCTIFY means to actually make a person righteous. The righteousness of Christ's character is developed in the life of the believer by the power of God which is referred to as grace. As a result of justification by faith in the redeeming love of God, the repentant sinner is inspired, motivated and delighted to cooperate with God in the development of a Christlike character in preparation for heaven.
GLORIFY means to make immortal with a body like Christ's. The gift of immortality is bestowed upon those who have cooperated with God throughout their lifetime (be it short or long) to become Christlike in character. A Christlike character is the only kind of character that could enjoy heaven and the only kind of character that could be trusted in heaven.
