God is a Spirit being. We know from the singular declarations from God that he is one Spirit. Therefore, his one Spirit identifies him as one person. I say “person” in the sense of a logical, intelligent, and living Being. We refer to him as the “Supreme Being.” There is no division or separation of God into other divine Beings. He will not give his glory [what he is] to another.
God is unlimited in his own power and capacity to manifest himself according to his will. He can be invisible and visible. He can have form and be formless. He can be intangible and tangible. He can be apart from creation and be a part of creation. He can be Spirit and appear on earth as a man. He can be Spirit and also Body. If we limit God to his capabilities we deduct from him the glory of his own power.
Everything God does is therefore for his own glory. By glory I mean the manifestation of his power. This incorporates his intelligent design as well as his eternal purpose. We humans are a creation for his glory because in us his intelligent design and eternal purpose is being worked out.
It is to God we give praise for this most excellent glory. And to his name we extol and worship these great and beautiful perfections. We seek to know more of his eternal purpose so as his believers and followers we have an anchor of hope in the holy life we present before his presence.
We are not ashamed to draw near unto God because in doing so we accept more and more his ways.
"For the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof" (Rev 21:23).
I am going where the Lamb is the LIGHT since he is the glory of God.
Bishop Reckart
A Man Giving Glory To Jesus, the name ABOVE all names!
