Soli Deo Gloria
"kavod" means wealth, riches, honor, reputation, heaviness, weight, splendor, or distinction.
Isaiah 42:8 (NLT)
I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.
Resting in His salvation
Isaiah 30:15 (NLT)
This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.”
Reflecting His character
“It is God’s intention for the creation to return glory back to him. When our lives image the attributes of God, others see the glory of God’s presence in us as his temple. So we bring God’s glorious reputation to the eyes of others. Thus we ourselves are part of the light that goes forth from God over the earth.”
- John Frame Doctrine of God Page 594
1 Corinthians 10:31 (NLT)
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
“One way toward a oneness that reflects the Trinity is for us to glorify one another as do the persons of the Trinity. That means loving one another, serving one another, praising one another, honoring one another… to make one another look good, to enhance one another’s reputations, rather than to make ourselves look good at everyone else’s expense.”
- John Frame Doctrine of God Page 595
Reaching His World
Habakkuk 2:14 (NLT)
For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the LORD.
“This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.”
- Martin Luther
