Biblical Concept: God’s Glory
Findings:
God’s Glory: the height, the breadth, the depth of theology. Understand God’s glory, understand everything. (Compare the Biblical Concept: Glory, The Summary.)
God’s Glory is the Grand Unifying Theory of Theology / Everything. (By the end of my theological career, I had envisioned sort of a grand sentence describing everything. I think I have done it in two words: God’s Glory.) (I could make a case for three words: God’s Holy Glory. No other words are needed.)
Instead of / in addition to / seeking God’s will, seek His glory.
God’s glory is why God created anything. He created to glorify Himself. (A case could be made that God’s other attributes / characteristics would be opposed to creating anything. The rebellion of volitional beings would be very offensive to God’s holiness, righteousness, justice, etc. God’s glory won the day, in eternity past, as the council of God decided to do anything.) (See Biblical Concept: Why did God do anything?)
Creation glories God.
To receive Glory, God created volitional beings. God knew the good and the bad that would come with volitional beings. God wanted the good, the glory, so He created. To counter the bad, God became an active participant among the volitional creatures, in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. The Person and work of Jesus Christ demonstrates that God is worthy of glory from volitional creatures.
John 3:16-21 16 "For God so loved
the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life.
17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge
the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. 18 "He who believes in Him is
not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 "And this is the judgment,
that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than
the light; for their deeds were evil. 20
"For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the
light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21 "But he who practices the truth comes to the light,
that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

John 12:27-33
27
"Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, 'Father, save Me
from this hour '? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 "Father, glorify Thy
name." There came therefore a voice out of heaven: "I have both
glorified it, and will glorify it again."
29 The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, were
saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "An angel has spoken to
Him." 30 Jesus answered
and said, "This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. 31 "Now judgment is upon this
world; now the ruler of this world shall be cast out. 32 "And I, if I be lifted up
from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." 33 But He was saying this to
indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.

His glory, you may rejoice with exultation. 14 If you are reviled for the name of
Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. (Suffering, reward, glory

Romans 8:18-23 18 For
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be
compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the
creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to
futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in
hope 21 that the creation itself also will be
set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the
children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation
groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this, but also we
ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption
of our body. (Glory: The best is yet to come.) (A little suffering versus
