The Glory of God is His goodness When Moses asked God, Show me Thy glory - the Lord answered, I will make all My goodness pass before thee." Exodus 33:18, 19. This the Lord did as recorded in Exodus 34:5-7 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. In the light of His glory will we see our shame In the light of His holiness, our sin I In the light of His purity, our corruption When we see that all these perfections are given in love through Christ to save us, it creates love within our hearts, and fear and love combine in reverence. These views of self and God will lead us to choose God's will and way in preference to our own. It is this wisdom which leads to the keeping of the commandments of God. Romans 2:12, James 2:10-12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. The Glory of God is His character That character is manifest in His holy law - the rule of his government. In other words to render this glory to Him is to obey that law - or to submit to let that law work out in us God's character. Being that, fearing God and giving glory to Him is equivalent to fearing God and keeping His commandments. This is emphasized by the fact that the law of God is the great rule of judgment. Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.How should we worship God 1 Chronicles 16:29, John 4:23, 24 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
