The grandeur of God’s glory and of its incredible, powerful, impact on those who are redeemed. Glory works in us by the love of God for us.
We first see how glorious God is in his power and creation.
Psalm 89:
Vs. 5 “Let the heaven praise your wonders…”
Vs. 8 “Who is mighty as you are?”
Vs. 9 “You rule the raging of the sea …”
We see how amazing God is in his nature and wonders.
Exodus 8
Vs. 10 “There is no one like the LORD …” (see 9:14 for parallel)
Vs. 22 “That you may know the I AM the LORD in the midst of the earth…”
Exodus 10
Vs. 2 “That you may know what I have done … that you may know that I AM the LORD.”
From these few verses (and there are dozens more in the Old Testament) we see that God desires people to see him, to know his excellencies, and to experience who God is by what he has done. When we see what God has done, we know there is no one like Him.
But how does God’s glory translate into the lives of people? Into the lives of God’s people?
God’s glory is “vastly distinguished” as being utterly different from anything in humans. He is categorically different from his creation. He is far more wonderful! But he wants people to know how immeasurably rich is his glory, and how unsearchable he is as God.
Glory is not just touting God’s greatness. Glory becomes a personal interaction between God and his people. God wants them to know the glorious God, and to know that glory as worthy of every praise by those who worship him.
How does glory turn into worship?
It happens only through the working of the love of God. Love makes the glory of God known in people. The glory of God for the believer is supremely seen and experienced in the love of God for sinners. What a surprise this is! Glory leads us to his love — his eternal, saving love for his people is where glory is made perfect!
When Jonathan Edwards (one of the greatest minds every to write on theology and the nature of God) sought to describe how the Holy God could come into a relationship with sinful people, he found that language failed him. He could not express what he was experiencing as a Christian adequately, even in the loftiest language. His great gifts, his mighty intellect, could not describe the glory of God well-enough. But love could.
Edwards used the language of love to describe God’s glory! He could only turn to the language of love to describe how the Glorious God had come into his life. We see that the love of God is tied to the glory of God.
We will unpack some of the archaic phrases Edwards uses, but look for the language of love:
Edwards wrote this way, “Tis the soul’s relish of the supreme excellency of the Divine nature, inclining the heart to God as the chief good” (Edwards, Treatise on Grace, 48).
He speaks of relish (delight of the soul), of inclining the heart, and of God as the “chief good.” Edwards didn’t leap into complex language about the attributes of God or even the stilted language of redemption (reconciliation, substitution, salvation, propitiation, and the rest) to describe God’s glory. He spoke of God as the greatest good.
God is the most wonderful Person in his life, “inclining the heart to God as the chief good.” We might say that we are “declaring our love for God as our most precious and enduring Treasure. He is more to us than anything or any one.” The language of love becomes the way we offer praise and glory to God.
We are drawn to love the glory of God by the love of God. We worship God most gloriously when we know his love and receive his redemption most personally.
Then God become our “chief good.” He is our greatest love. God is known in us, by his love for us, as most glorious.

I see and understand this as if looking through a fog.
That is how some of these explanations of glory feel. They are understood best, I think by doing. Experiencing the glory of God by loving him. We usually want to do something for God, or make it an exercise about learning facts about God. But LOVING him? That isn’t where we go today.
I think it is because we are taught by churches and bad theologies, to use God for our benefit, not to love him.
When we move toward him in adoration and praise, we discover more about God and more about ourselves.
It is what we will do for eternity in heaven. Growing and loving God more and more.
I see and understand this as if I’m looking through a fog.
Some much of our knowledge of God is like that. We read something in Scripture and the more we think about it and wrestle with it, the less we are sure about it.
Richard Pratt (at Reformed Seminary) says that these struggles are for humility. There is plenty that is clear, but when we get to God’s nature, there is much that we just see with awe and ponder by faith.
I think the glory of God does change us and it shows us so much of God. But not through an academic exercise, but through the love God has for us, and we for him.
