| “Glory””The
glory of God is referenced all throughout the Bible. It is mentioned as
something shown to humanity in many different ways, something seen as a
defining element of God, and something that is was part of His nature before
the foundation of the world. We want to understand it as well as our minds
will allow us to, that we might play our part in glorifying the God of all
creation.””I. How Can
We
the Glory of God?””A.
There are layers upon layers of it shown to us (Ex. 16:10; Ps.72:19;
Hab.2:14; Ex.24:17; Isa.58:8;””John 1:14; Heb.1:3)””B. It is more than just something shown to us,
or something that He has, (Ex.33:18-23; John 174-:5;””Rev.5:13;
21:23-25)””C. Still, it is
difficult to describe. Look at it in
the light of
(Isa.6:3; Lev.10:3)””II.
Seeing His Glory in Everything””A. Seen in nature, all things glorifying God
(Isa.35:1-2; Ps. 19:1; Job 39:4-13)””B. Seen in how His masterful plans comes
together (Gen.45:13; Eph.3:10-11)””C. His glory is also in the salvation of man
(Rom.3:23; Phil.2:9-11; Rom.5:2)””III. Living to the Praise of His
Glory””A. God’s glory seen
in what He is able to do with those who profane Him
(Ezek.36:22-23)””B. His
Glory is seen in all that He accomplished through Christ (Heb.2:8-11)””C. We now can live to the praise of His Glory
(Eph.1:3-14)””As we think of God’s glory how sobering it is to
realize the choice we have as we exist before Him each and
every””day. We can glorify
Him in so many ways (more than we think) if we are willing. We can also “profane His holy name” in the
wrong choices. What will you choose to
reflect in your life?” |
