Favorite Quotes on the Glory of God

Quotes

What is the glory of God? It is the manifestation of any or all of his attributes. In other words, it is the displaying of God to the world. Thus, things which glorify God are things which show the characteristics of his being to the world.

Charles Caldwell Ryrie

A. W. Tozer

John Piper

Charles Spurgeon

“Glory” in the Bible characteristically refers to the magnificent presence of the Lord, and the eternal state was often pictured as a time when God’s people would experience and have a part in that “glory”

Douglas J. Moo

Edwards is absolutely right: “God is glorified not only by His glory’s being seen, but by its being rejoiced in.” If we do not rejoice in God, we do not glorify God as we ought.

John Piper

How often do you think of your salvation in this way? ‘The glory of God’!

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The glory of God is all His attributes added together and raised to the nth degree.

Lewis Sperry Chafer
