So what should that look like?<br />God’s glory is the manifestation of all that He is in His unsurpassed, stunning perfection. It is His amazing love, His wide mercy, His deep grace. His glory is seen in His truth, justice, wisdom, and power. To glorify Him means that we have the high privilege of showing Him off in a world that is totally unaware of what He is really like. Acts of mercy to the undeserving, grace to the needy, forgiveness to an offender, living wisely according to His will—all give glorious visibility to the character and quality of our God.<br />There are a lot of misconceptions floating around about God. It’s our job to let others see what He is really like. And, when they like what they see, let’s be sure to let them know who taught us to live like that. It’s not a good idea to steal God’s glory!<br />May our lives be a “show and tell” for God’s glory.<span style="font-size: 1.25em;"><br /></span></strong></span> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://elsalioness.vox.com/library/post/passion-for-christ.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00e398a88d04000300e398d240970001?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> godsglory
