The Glory of God

God/Jesus Christ

21who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

– 1 Peter 1:21

6

1In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.

– Isaiah 6:1

5Then I said,

“Woe to me, for I am ruined!

Because I am a man of unclean lips,

And I live among a people of unclean lips;

For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.”

– Isaiah 6:5

7He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your guilt is taken away and atonement is made for your sin.”

– Isaiah 6:7

8But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!”

– Luke 5:8

God is light, and He is love. As soon as God’s love shines into my heart, it draws me to Him, and I cannot resist it. On the other hand, God’s light can instill fear in me because it appeals to my conscience. How could I walk with God if I don’t know whether He will punish me for my sins or not?

The work through which the Lord Jesus bore my sins is perfectly accomplished. Because of this, God has exalted Him as a man at His right hand. The work is finished. When I accept this for myself in faith, I can only be happy. However, what gives me inner peace is the knowledge that God has accepted the work of Christ. He has proven this by raising Christ from the dead.

While the glory of God once instilled fear in us when we were still unfit for His holy presence, today we can stand before God in complete peace because Christ is at His right hand. We look to Him and see in Him a completed, perfect work. With this awareness, we come before God.

The glory of God, which we may worship in Christ, is the testimony that the sins of the believer are wiped away once and for all. The Lord is in glory as our Savior—for all who accept His salvation. Through Him, I now stand justified before God.

Let us just remember that He became man; that He came into this world in His love! For the believer, He has transformed eternal judgment into eternal triumph. I speak of triumph, for one day the believer will be like Christ: “Christ will transform our lowly body to be like His glorious body, by the power that enables Him even to subject all things to Himself” (Phil. 3:21).
