THE GLORY OF THE WORKS OF CHRIST

1Peter 1:10-11 (AMPC)

The prophets, who prophesied of the grace (divine blessing) which was intended for you, searched and inquired earnestly about this salvation. They sought [to find out] to whom or when this was to come which the Spirit of Christ working within them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow [them].

The grace of God is about the glory that is produced by the works of Christ as He suffered and died for us on the Cross. When we are not focused on the revelation of the grace of God, what we are therefore focused on is the glory of our works or the works of man. That is the highest that the Law and preaching of it can produce. Between the glory produced by the works of Christ and the glory produced by the works of man, which do you think will be greater? Many preachers are being deceived because they are not preaching the grace of God but they are seeing some dimensions of the glory of God in their lives.

The Bible says, “The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious the new way, which makes us right with God! In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever!” 2Cor.3:7-11 (NLT). Don’t miss the greater glory.

Faith Declaration:
My faith is in Christ and His wonderful works for me. My life is filled with the greater glory of the works of Christ
