Glory

God's glory radiates throughout creation and will fill the earth in the future kingdom, while the glory of God revealed in Christ surpasses all earthly glory. Believers are called to reflect and proclaim His glory in all things.

Overview

God's glory—His manifest presence, splendor, and divine attributes—is central to biblical faith. Scripture reveals that God's glory will ultimately fill the nations and transform creation. The gospel reveals Christ as the brightness of God's glory, superseding all earthly splendor and religious systems.
