“God’s glory is best seen in Jesus Christ. He, the Light of the World, illuminates God’s nature. Because of Jesus, we are no longer in the dark about what God is really like. The Bible says, “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory.”5 Jesus came to earth so we could fully understand God’s glory. “The Word became human and lived among us. We saw his glory … a glory full of grace and truth.”

“Often we try to offer God partial obedience. We want to pick and choose the commands we obey.

I’ll read my Bible but won’t forgive the person who hurt me. Yet partial obedience is disobedience.”
