CALLED TO GLORY AND EXCELLENCE

2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, (ESV)

It has always been the plan and dream of God to fill man with His glory. He had always wanted man to carry and dispense His beauty. The first man sinned and fell short of the glory. But God restored man to glory through Christ.

Romans 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

In the days of Moses God gave the Israelites the law which made them different from the rest of the world. God wanted a people that would bear His glory; through the law He offered the Israelites the opportunity to experience His glory if they would obey the law. For the law came with glory.

2 Corinthians 3:7-8 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?

We are those who have received the ministry of the Spirit. And it came with the highest glory. The Holy Spirit is the Person of glory. Having received Him we are all-glorious. God called us into this glory and excellence. We increase in this glory and excellence through our knowledge of Him. 2 Peter 1:3 ...through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.

CONFESSION

God in His infinite love for me has called me into His own glory and excellence. My life is one of beauty, perfection, Grace, favour and unending glory. My life is an expression of God's manifold Grace, excellence, goodness, virtue and glory, Amen Hallelujah!
