The Knowledge of the Glory of God
"He
hath shined in our hearts to
give the light of the knowledge of
the glory of God in the face
of Jesus Christ"
give the light of the knowledge of
the glory of God in the face
of Jesus Christ"
-II
Corinthians 4:6 [KJV]
The
knowledge of the glory of God we now see in the face of Jesus Christ
is THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF HIS GRACE; it is the glorious counsel and
covenant mercies in Christ; it is that Gospel whereby He shows mercy
to whom He will show mercy and is gracious to whom He will be
gracious. The glory of God which He has revealed to our hearts is
that righteous life and sin-offering which enables God to be just and
justifier. This knowledge of the glory of God in Christ is not a mere
head knowledge of fact and doctrines, but it is a life-giving, heart
experience of the power, love, grace, and wisdom of God whereby we
cry, "Father, Father." Christ has fully declared God,
revealed Him, interpreted Him, and brought God out where He may be
seen. Christ is the full revelation of the living God to which NO
OTHER REVELATION SHALL BE ADDED!
