God's Glory

Romans 11:36

For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

"God and His Kingdom are, simply put, about God-the triune God, the Holy One of Israel. What are the Triune God's needs? He has no needs. He is completely fulfilled. The Father loves the Son. The Son is ecstatic about the Father and wants nothing but the Father's will. God's greatest pleasure is himself. How could God be consumed with anything less than his own perfect, holy being? For God to be consumed with anything else woud be idolatrous. It would be exalting the creature above the Creator. God's goal is to exalt himself and his own glory. He intends to magnify his great name."
-Edward Welch

We should not just glorfiy God because of what he has done for us, we should glorify God because of who he is. We should honor God because of his glory, his radiance, his beauty, his splendor, his majesty, and his holiness.
