Evaluation of How Much We Really Value God’s Glory
The worst evil (the slaughter of the Lamb of God) was done to bring about the greatest good imaginable: the praise of God’s glorious grace. There was no other way to display the glory of the grace of God.
- Is God’s grace glorious enough in our eyes that we would see the ordination of evil and all its consequences as not just reasonable, but good?
- Do we see how good it is that we can know just one more attribute of God, even if only a little bit?
- In your own personal suffering, what is God revealing about himself that if the suffering didn’t happen, you wouldn’t know this about God?
- Is any knowledge of God, no matter how small, so precious to you that any cost is worth it just to know God that much better?
- The end of all creation is the praise of the glorious grace of God (Eph. 1:4-6). In your estimation, is the praise of God’s glorious grace really the best thing that can happen in all of creation? This is God’s great joy; is it ours?
