WHAT IS THE GLORY OF GOD?

EXODUS 33:18, 19 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.

EXODUS 34:6, 7

And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].

GLORIFY GOD: SALVATION & RADIANT LIGHT

And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

JESUS GLORIFY GOD: HUMAN FLESH

JOHN 1:14, 18

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

MANIFESTATIONS: HOW DID JESUS GLORIY GOD?

HOW SHOULD CHRISTIANS GLORIFY GOD IN THEIR EVERY DAY LIVES?

ISAIAH 58:6-8

• To loose the bands of wickedness

• To alleviate heavy burdens

• To be a voice for the oppressed ones

• To break every yoke of bondage

• To give bread to the hungry

• To care for the poor

• To clothe those who are naked

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

GLORIFY GOD: PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19, 20

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:31Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

2 CORINTHIANS 3:18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
