THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE
FACE OF JESUS CHRIST

2 Corinthians 4:6

Bill Parker


God's attributes are His glory, and His glory is revealed in its fullest in Christ who is the brightness of God's glory (Heb. 1:3). God's attributes are revealed to sinners savingly when we see how God can be just to justify the ungodly based on the righteousness of Christ. We see that the main issue in salvation is the glory of God (the revelation and honor of all His attributes). The main issue in the glory of God is the righteousness of Christ (the merit of His obedience and death that enables God to be both a just God and a Savior). This is how the glory of God is revealed in the face (the Person) of the Lord Jesus Christ. And God is glorified in the hearts of sinners when they come to see that Christ's righteousness alone entitles them to all the benefits, blessings, and glory of eternal life and Heaven. This is where we begin to worship God in His glory, and this is where we begin to exalt Christ our Savior and Lord.
