God's Glory

UNVEILING HIS GLORY

Exodus 34:29-35; 2 Corinthians 3:7-18

The Spirit and the Glory of God…

n Only the Spirit of God knows the fullness of the glory of God.

n If we want to know God, then we need the Spirit to reveal Him to us.

n Therefore, a people who are desperate to know God will be desperate for His Spirit.

4 If we are not desperate for His Spirit, it is a sure indicator that we have grown content with knowing little about God.

n Do we want to know the glory of God?

4 Then let us be a people desperate for the Spirit of God.

Do we really need His Spirit?

n Spiritless Christianity…

4 Relies on external regulations.

4 Revolves around our performance for God.

4 Results in condemnation and death.

n Spirit-filled Christianity…

4 Relies on internal transformation.

4 Revolves around God’s performance in us.

4 Results in salvation and life.

Do we really want His glory?

n We will become like what we behold.

n We will preach that which we prize.
