Reflecting God’s Glory

In Exodus 34 when Moses asks God to show him His glory, the Lord passed by Moses calling out His attributes and character. God wasn’t just showing His radiance, He was making His character visible. The essence of who God is was on full display. Are we reflecting Hos glory in this world through our lives? When Moses had spent time with God, his face shone with the radiant glory. I always thought that would be incredible. As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized it’s more important to reflect the glory of His character in my life. Paul gave us a good list in Galatians 5 to reflect: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.

Here are some Bible verses on the glory of God:

1. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

2 Corinthians 3:18 NLT

2. So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.

John 1:14 NLT

3. For the very glory you have given to me I have given them so that they will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that we enjoy.

John 17:22 TPT

4. Sing to the Lord, and praise him! Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us. Proclaim his glory to the nations, his mighty deeds to all peoples.

Psalm 96:2-3 GNT

5. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:6 NLT
