All For His Glory

One of the closings I use on many of my communications is "All by His grace, All for His glory."

"You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created." (Revelation 4:11)

God willed us and created us and we are set apart (sanctified) for a special purpose.

For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
(Hebrews 10:14)

We have been perfected, that is matured in Christ. We are mature beautiful fruit on the vine of Jesus Christ, and this was accomplished through one sacrifice for all time.

We weren't created so that we could just experience the joy of being fruit and hanging out on an awesome vine or tree.

We were created for the glory of God.

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:9-11)

and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
(Revelation 1:6)

So what's your 'bringing God glory' index looking like right now? How have you been bringing glory to your Heavenly Father and your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? The amazing thing about all this, is that God promises us that as we serve Him and bring Him glory that we will receive glory in Christ Jesus. If we lose our lives, we shall truly find them! Jump in to being a fully devoted follower of Christ! The water's fine.

Yours in Him,
