If you’ve ever listened to Christian radio or TV programs for more than a second or two, you’ve no doubt heard them talking about “glory.” It seems like glory days are everywhere. And not the Bruce Springsteen song-yelling kind.
I looked up glorious in the dictionary. And I found this definition: “having a striking beauty or splendor that evokes feelings of delighted admiration.” So, that stirs up some pretty cool images, doesn’t it? It does for me. Maybe I’m biased (in fact, I’m sure of it), but I want my God to be glorious. I want Him to be better than everything else in the universe…combined. So, I’m mighty glad He is.
Here’s an example of how that leads to glory days.
When I read Paul’s writing in 2 Corinthians 3:7-18, I find the glory days. Paul lays out how glorious the new promise (covenant) is. He shows how the old covenant between God and Israel was glorious because it showed God’s love toward His people. But Paul also illustrates how the old covenant was a “ministry of condemnation.”
The new promise is a ministry of righteousness. It’s a promise of eternal life for anyone who believes in the person and deity of Jesus. His righteousness bought and paid for the gift of eternal life for anyone who believes and trusts in Him. You know what? I want that. I can’t imagine even a skeptic saying “No, I don’t want that.” But they do. And by the millions, even billions.
If eternal life is even a remote possibility, I want it. And I want to discover as much about it as possible…because eternal life sounds glorious to me. Imagine glory days without end. And without pain and suffering, without death and dying, forever.
You don’t have to imagine it.
It’s real. It’s waiting for you. And it’s yours. All you gotta do is ask. Ask and you will receive. God created you. He loves you. He wants you to live forever with Him in paradise. But He won’t force you to be there. If you’d rather be apart from Him forever, He’s made a place where you can exist without Him. But I highly recommend you don’t choose that option.
Because that place will have NO glory days. And no hope, no love, no life. Oh sure, you’ll be your own king or queen. But it’ll be in a universe of one. Here’s what I suggest instead.
Gather as much information about God and Jesus as you can. Don’t just listen to news organizations, Hollywood, or even televangelists. Check out reliable historical documents. Read the Bible. It won’t bite you. If you sincerely seek the truth, I believe you’ll find that Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
If you don’t, then at least you’ll have made a decision against Him based on your own individual research. But my guess is this…if you sincerely seek the truth, THE Truth will change your heart, and I’ll get to see you in paradise. Where never-ending glory days will be filled to overflowing with God’s Love and life.
