“The Love of God- Part 4: For His Glory” 11/12/06
Difficult
Doctrine …How do we reconcile with all of who God is?
Our
Approach: 1) God’s love for all (conditional) Through common grace, compassion, warning,
and offer of salvation. 2) God’s love for the Elect
(unconditional); 3) God’s Love / Pleasure (conditional) and Our Response;
4) God’s
Love and His Glory (OF
OUR FATHER)
Exodus
34:6-7 READ
“Truly, as I live, all
the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD” Num 14:21
“Therefore, whether you
eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” 1
Corinthians 10:31
WHAT DOES IT
MEAN TO GLORIFY GOD?
God is not a slave to
any ONE of His attributes, but instead seeks the fullness of His Glory.

33 “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the
wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways
past finding out! 34For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who
has become His counselor? 35Or who has first given to Him And it

all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.” Romans 11:33-36
