The Grands Letter (GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on July 15, 2016 8:02 am (CST)Dear Grands,
Galatians 1:22-24, “I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;
23 but only, they kept hearing, “He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he
once tried to destroy.” 24 And they were glorifying God because of me.”
Paul was unknown by sight to some of the churches, but they were nevertheless
excited because of the Gospel he was preaching. Yet, they were not glorifying
Paul; they were glorifying God. When I read this passage this morning, I wondered
If people who know I am preaching and teaching the Gospel are glorifying God or
glorifying me? Are we seeking for people to glorify the LORD or ourselves? We
are never to be the object of anyone’s glory. The LORD alone is to be glorified!
So, are we living so as to direct all glory toward Him?
Love you all immensely,
Nana & Dado III
