Topic: Falling Short of Glory 

Highlight: 

Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?" John 11:40

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23

If the Gospel has not been preached to you before today you might not be aware of the possibility of obtaining salvation from God; We all need to understand that salvation through Jesus Christ leads us to glory, deliverance and redemption from God. In John 20:29b Our Lord Jesus said .... blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." because believing in God is to be blessed to see his glory. The approval and blessing of God is on the one who have faith in His Son, trusts His Word of truth, and believes the Holy Scriptures.

How have we then fell short of the great beauty, prestige and glory of God? If you have been missing in action of God's glory its because we have not believe in Jesus His son  by trusting in His word. Our Lord Jesus Christ said "if you love me, you will keep my commands And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever. John 14:15-16. You can not obey someone you don't trust. And once you act in your own way somehow you will miss the the glory of God. There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12

It is promised that those who believe and rely on Him will see his glory. Keep your Trust and obedience in Him alone for there's no other way. To be happy in the completeness of life, you need trust and obey the word of God. This is the truth, 1 Samuel 15:22b says "To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams." 

It is a blessing to anyone who wish to see the glory of God who believe in the son of God that they will have everlasting life. John 3:16 As you keep believing, the glory will become bigger like the day gets clearer. Your unshakable faith in Jesus is your way up to glory. Keep having it. 

Prayer: Almighty God, I beg you for grace and mercy to believe and trust in you for the rest of my life. Give me grace of total obedience to your words and make me dwell in your glory forever. In Jesus name. Amen
