Brother Sparks emphasizes the concept of "His eternal glory" from 1 Peter 5:10, highlighting that glory represents the mind of God and is present when things align with His will. Glory can manifest in both blessing and judgment, serving as a testament to God's nature. He defines glory as the divine nature in expression, evident in love, faith, and holiness. Conversely, strife, doubt, and sin indicate a lack of glory. The experience of glory is initial, occasional, and progressive, with deeper trials leading to greater glory. The foundation of the Christian faith rests upon the glory witnessed by the apostles, particularly through their encounters with Christ. Brother Sparks outlines four relationships of glory: the God of glory, the Father of glory, the Lord of glory, and the Spirit of glory, each emphasizing worship and the divine nature. He asserts that true fatherhood reflects in the character of children, and the glory of God is revealed through His family. Ultimately, the Lord of glory signifies Christ's rightful place, and recognizing His Lordship is essential to experiencing glory.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
