YOUR NAME IS “THE GLORY OF GOD!”
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:” (Ephesians 1:17).
The Bible calls our heavenly Father the father of glory. Now, if He is the Father of glory, and He’s your Father, then who are you? You may say “That means I’m the son of glory,” no, …a thousand times no! If your name is John, and someone called your father ‘The father of John,’ it’s because your name is John. Consequently, if God is the Father of glory, then you are glory; not the son of glory. This is wonderful; just the thought of it!
You were born to be the glory of God. As Jesus is —the glory of the Father—so are you now the glory of the Father; for He has made you like Himself: “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:” (John 17:22). 2 Corinthians 3:18 explains that as we look at the glory of God in a mirror, we are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. What does a mirror do? It reflects whatever is set before it. If you were standing in front of a mirror you’d see your own reflection. The Word of God is that mirror.
God is saying to you today, “You’re my glory; that reflection; that glory that you see when you look into the mirror—the Word—is who you really are!” Your name is “the glory of God!” Go ahead right now and call yourself by name! Say “I am the glory of God, and every step I take today is the step of glory. The glory of God will always be manifested in my life.” Think and talk like this every day; and your life will be that of ever increasing glory.
