The Glory of God - All The LORD is near Daily Devotionals for 2026

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
Revelation 21:10-11 NKJV

The Glory of God
First, we are to enter into the glory of God; for us it is the Father's house, and we are made meet for it by the Father's grace and the blood of Jesus. And then we are to come out of it all radiant with the light that fills it, to shed that light upon the earth during the millennial reign of Christ. The Church is to be the vessel of the glory of God. What is the glory of God? The glory of God, in the moral aspect of it, is the display of His own blessed nature; He has revealed Himself. How has He done this? He has done it in the Person of His beloved Son, and thus the great fact has come into evidence that GOD IS LOVE.

That is the glory of God. You would not know it by simply scanning the heavens. They declare His handiwork, His wisdom, His divinity, His power. Men did not learn this great fact at Sinai, for there in the presence of the thundering and fire of that dread mount they were filled with terror. This great and blessed revelation was made by the beloved Son when He came into the world and passed through it to the cross of Calvary. The light that He brought into the world is to be contained in the holy city, and that light will radiate from it to the utmost bounds of creation. And all creation will rejoice in the fact that God is love.

This is our testimony today, for it is this fact that has changed, enlightened, and blessed us. The love of God has been made manifest in relieving us of our liabilities and removing the load of sins that oppressed us, and by bringing us into love and light and liberty.
