Moderators John317 Posted March 6, 2011 Moderators Posted March 6, 2011 Exodus 33:18-23 Moses said, "Please show me your glory." [19] And he said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name 'The Lord.' And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. [20] But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live." [21] And the Lord said, "Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, [22] and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. [23] Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen." Exodus 34:5-7 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. [6] The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, [7] keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation." CONCLUSION: God's glory is His character. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Woody Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Is the 'glory of God' the same as 'God's glory'? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Moderators John317 Posted March 7, 2011 Moderators Posted March 7, 2011 It is like the difference beteen God's people and the people of God. They are both possessive forms. Ellen White used "God's glory" in this way: Quote: The Jewish leaders thought themselves too wise to need instruction, too righteous to need salvation, too highly honored to need the honor that comes from Christ. The Saviour turned from them to entrust to others the privileges they had abused and the work they had slighted. God's glory must be revealed, His word established. Christ's kingdom must be set up in the world. The salvation of God must be made known in the cities of the wilderness; and the disciples were called to do the work that the Jewish leaders had failed to do. {AA 16.1} Here it seems that "God's glory" is synonymous with God's character or the gospel, the latter being a revelation of God's character. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Dr. Rich Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 God's glory is the absence of evil and sin. God vowed that as long as He lives, that some day this whole world will be filled with the glory of God--meaning that there will no longer be sin or evil on this world. We are told that God's glory will be the light for those in heaven. Quote
Moderators John317 Posted March 7, 2011 Moderators Posted March 7, 2011 yes, I agree. The whole universe will be once again in harmony with God's righteous, loving character. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Sonny Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 "I will make all my goodness pass before you" God's glory is His agape love. I get this from the Bible, but Ellen White does agree: It will be seen that the glory shining in the face of Jesus is the glory of self-sacrificing love. In the light from Calvary it will be seen that the law of self-renouncing love is the law of life for earth and heaven; that the love which "seeketh not her own" has its source in the heart of God. . .
