To God Alone Be the Glory

To God Alone Be the Glory

Romans 11:36
Pastor Terry Wilcox

The Reformation came about mainly due to a dispute with the Roman Catholic Church regarding how people are justified before God.

We are spiritually dead and legally guilty.

Jesus Christ alone is the sacrifice that paid our sin debt.

The Greek word “helkuo” literally means to drag ( a one-sided affair).

The Glory of God is God’s uniqueness as the only God = His “God-ness”.

Is it God’s plan for us to reflect His glory?

Scripture makes it clear that God, and God alone, is the source – the only reason for glory. All glory is His.

I believe it is God’s plan that we reflect His glory!
