Text: Romans 3:23
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Another inverse proportionality we would look at today is the relationship between sin and glory. Sin is disobedience to the will of God while glory is characteristic of the presence of God. The word of God in Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
The angels of God carry a great weight of God’s glory because they live in obedience. They shine and reflect the beauty of God’s majesty because they live in holiness- Psalm 103:20.
Those of them that could not continue in obedience lost their positions of glory and honour and were cast down to the Earth awaiting God’s final judgment. Revelation 12:9; Jude 1:6
Adam and Eve lost their glory and they became naked. Shame took over them and they began to hide. Eventually they were cursed and cast out of paradise- Genesis 3.
Sin is inversely proportional to glory and vice versa. You want God’s glory? Quit a lifestyle of sin.
The Word of God says, “Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 2:14; John 11:40.
The King of Glory has called us to share in his glory through the Gospel of Christ. Respond to his call today, repent from all sins and become a candidate of his glory.
Key Nugget: You want God’s glory? Quit a lifestyle of sin.
