The weather can be glorious, so can a sporting victory... What's so glorious about God's glory?
The word glory is used throughout the Bible - in over 370 verses in fact. It is often used to describe the majesty and greatness of God. This glory is reflected in His world, His word and His worshippers.
Without compromising on the grandeur of this glorious concept, Thomas condenses and captures it succinctly in this short book aimed at helping young adults understand and appreciate what the Bible means when it talks about glory.
Beginning with the Creation, he explains how the reflection of God's glory was distorted when sin entered the world. Thomas then goes on to explain how this glory of God was perfectly represented in the person of Jesus; how it is partially restored in Christians; and how it will be perfectly restored in the new heavens and the new earth.
Understanding glory is crucial to understanding where we've come from, what God has done and where we're headed. The Christian life is all about glory!
