Are You Looking Forward to Sharing God’s Glory?

         

Sharing God’s glory? That will be a wonderful experience! Paul writes about it in a couple places in Romans, chapters five and eight.

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father." For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children. And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God's glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. Romans 8:15-17 (Underlined for emphasis.)

God’s glory is so awesome…unattainable for mere humans, but God shares His glory with us, as His adopted children. Scripture assures us of God’s magnificent glory.

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires. 2 Peter 1:3-4 (Underlined for emphasis.)

(Underlined for emphasis.)

 

All of your works will thank you, LORD, and your faithful followers will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom; they will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The LORD always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does. Psalm 145:10-13

 

The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. Hebrews 1:3

Glory be to Father God, to the Son, Jesus Christ, and to the Holy Spirit. One day those who believe in Jesus as their Savior have been promised that they will share in God’s glory. What an awesome promise. Are you looking forward to sharing in God’s glory?

 

Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory. Romans 5:1-2 (Underlined for emphasis.)

 

Prayer – Lord Jesus, Glory, Glory, Glory. May You be honored, with dignity, reverence, splendor, and abundant riches. You are worthy of glory, honor, and power.

 

Meditate. Consider God’s glory.

 

Verse of Salvation ~ He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:14
