“The Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly” (Ps.84:11).
Grace and glory are not to be separated.
Grace is glory begun. Glory is grace elevated to its perfection in the eternal state.
In I John 3:2, we are told that we shall be like Him, reason? “WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS.”
The immediate vision of the Lord of glory will be a transforming one, the bright reflections of God’s purity and holiness cast upon the glorified will make them perfectly holy and blessed.
BUT there is to be a resemblance of that here in the lives of His people. And too comes from BEHOLDING HIM. (II Cor.3:18)
“But we all…beholding…the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
On this day…
