”whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.“
2 Thessalonians 2:14 KJV
Paul explains this amazing revelation to the Church, “To this end He handpicked you for salvation through the Gospel so that you would have the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ”. Believers are brought into the perimeter of the glory of God through Jesus Christ. This is a present enjoyment and participation in the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ and not a future experience. Jesus said to the Father, just before going to the Cross, ”And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are One”. Such an amazing truth of what God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit have done for us - the eternal love; the drawing work of the Holy Spirit, sanctification or being set apart for holiness, faith in Jesus and much more. The purpose of our salvation is more than being set free from guilt, it is so that we would share in and possess the glory of Christ. Let’s know that we are encompassed by the glory of God. Hallelujah!
