Summary

What is glory? How is glory related to our calling in Christ Jesus? Lance focuses on these questions with the desire that we see by the revelation of the Holy Spirit our calling unto glory in Christ. Man was originally created and designed for the glory of God, but fell short of that glory because of sin. Yet, God’s calling for man has not changed. As the redeemed of the Lord, our great encouragement is to realize the unfailing determination of the God of all grace to bring us unto His eternal glory in Christ Jesus.
