In What Do You Glory?
Galatians 6:13-14
[13] ... that they may glory in your flesh. [14] But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ ...
Glorying in something is simply boasting about it. That's worshiping or praising something or somebody.
As Christians (Christ-like) what are we to glory in? What should be our source of boast or joy? Is it in our works or His grace?
Apostle Paul forbade glorying in the flesh but in the cross (a representation of God's grace). He admonished us to also glory in the cross.
Beloved, what everything we glory in that is not the grace of God, we are just giving ourselves false hope. Those things can't guarantee our salvation. They might give us momentary pleasure but not salvation. Those things will pass away and be destroyed with fire but not God's Grace. Stop glorying in earthly things and set your affections on things above, Colossians 3:2 and continually look unto Jesus, Hebrews 12:2.
Ask God to help you!
Shalom!
