First, Paul shows that an essential means of our glorification is beholding the glory of God in Christ. If we are made incrementally glorious with the glory of Christ by means of looking upon Christ,2then it is the glory of Christ that is magnified. Ours is reflective. Paul describes this particular means of transformation only once in his writings...
The second way Paul shows that our glorification is a means of God’s ultimate glorification is by revealing that Christ himself is the one doing the transforming — Christ the Lord, who is the Spirit. There are two agencies of transformation mentioned in 2 Corinthians 3:18. One is our beholding the glory of the Lord. The other appears in Paul’s stat...
The third means by which God gets the glory for our present and final glorification is from the way seeing produces being — from the way beholding produces becoming. Why is it that seeing the glory of the Lord transforms us from glory to glory? How does that work? The fact that it does work, and that it “comes from the Lord,” means that the Lord ge...
Our sanctification, then, glorifies God not only because the Lord himself performs it, and because it happens as we behold the glory of the Lord, and because our own glory is a derivative of God’s. Even more fundamentally, our transformation glorifies God because the heart of holiness is a heart that sees the Lord as supremely beautiful, and suprem...
Jul 6, 2009 · The reason it is so important is because in the Bible I don't know of any truth that is more fundamentally pervasive than God's zeal to be glorified, which means his zeal for us so to think, so to feel, and so to act as to make him look as glorious as he is.

God is glorious (adjective), reveals his glory (noun), and is to be glorified (verb). Further, God’s glory is intrinsic and extrinsic. God’s intrinsic glory refers to the inherent glory that belongs to him alone as God, independent of his works. He is glorious in his perfections; he is magnificent; he is beautiful.
Jan 20, 2023 · The glory of God is the beauty of His spirit. It is not an aesthetic beauty or a material beauty, but the beauty that emanates from His character, from all that He is. The glory of man—human dignity and honor—fades (1 Peter 1:24). But the glory of God, which is manifested in all His attributes together, never passes away.
Jul 22, 2014 · God’s glory is a big deal in Scripture, and that makes it a big deal to us here at Desiring God. Over the years here are just a few ways Pastor John has described the importance of God’s glory. He has said things like this: “The vindication of God’s glory is the ground of our salvation, and the exaltation of God’s glory is the goal of ...

May 27, 2020 · We remember our first study in Psalm 90, where we spoke about how God is eternal, from everlasting to everlasting. There was a time, where only God existed and nothing else. He alone is Creator, and the sky being his handiwork/work shows his glory. This declaration of God’s glory is continuous and never ends (Ps 19:2).
