God’s Attributes and the display of them – specifics of what is glorifying in Him and examples we see displayed.
God’s Attributes
“In being a spirit he has all the attributes of a spirit, conscience, intelligence, will and agency, a being of our own nature in this generic sense. He is not so separate from us by diversity as to have no sympathy with us, or so that we can have no congeniality with him. But then he is an infinite, eternal and immutable spirit.We are finite, limited on every hand as to the place we occupy, as to the powers we possess, as to the excellence we can attain, and as to the blessedness we can enjoy. God is infinite. There is no limit to his presence, to his intelligence and knowledge, to his divine goodness or to his power. He is eternal, without beginning, without end, without succession. And he is immutable in all his being and perfections. “—Charles Hodge.
The excellency of his nature and attributes and works, and especially that excellency revealed or manifested by word or action.
- Exodus 40:34—”Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.” KJV (glory meaning divine presence)
- Moses: “I beseech thee,” says the man of God, “show me thy glory.” Exodus 34:6–7—”And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.” “By the term “glory,” therefore, when referring to God, we are to understand his essential attributes and character, especially as displayed in the works of creation, providence, and grace.”—Henry Craik.
