GLORY OF GOD

The terms for glory in both the OT and NT (Heb. kabod and Gr. doxa) are used of the honor and praise due a person of worthy reputation because of position, power, and riches. Such glory ultimately belongs only to God since He alone is worthy (Isaiah 42:8; Revelation 4:11; 5:12-13; cf. Jeremiah 9:23-24). God's unique glory is particularly manifested in radiant splendor and majesty through His perfect attributes and His mighty acts of creation and redemption (Psalms 19:1; Micah 6:3-5; Luke 2:9; Romans 6:4; Colossians 1:11). Although no human has seen God's uncovered essence or full heavenly glory (Exodus 33:20; John 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:16), the divine glory is revealed to man in veiled form through the incarnate Son (John 1:14, 18; 17:4; cf. John 14:9; Hebrews 1:3) and shown to believers by the Spirit (John 16:14). The creation can reflect God's glory in inanimate form (Psalms 19:1; Romans 1:20) as well as in animate form (Psalms 150:6; Revelation 4:11; 5:12-13). Man in his present earthly state continually falls short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). However, God's glory is manifested to a degree through His people (Isaiah 43:7; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; cf. Psalms 50:23; Matthew 5:16; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 2 Corinthians 8:23; Philippians 2:15).
