To All You Skeptics Out There....
From my previous posts some of you may be asking... Why is God so obsessed with getting glory? Is He insecure? Is he arrogant? When people demand glory and honor, we call them stuck up and snoody. Why shouldn't we think the same thing about God? Good question. It's a tough one. A lot of people stumble here because God demands his own glory and demands his people to praise Him, when the Bible teaches us not to be like that, so....., how can God be so...for himself?
God is unique as an all-glorious, self-sufficient being. It's sounds weird, but it's almost like He has to be for Himself in order to be for us. Does that make sense or did I loose you? The rules for us, as humans, can't be the same for their Creator. If God were to try to turn away from himself and toward something else for joy and happiness, he would no longer be God. He would then be denying his worth and Glory. It would mean that there is something out there more valuable than Him. It's kind of like God would be commiting idolatry. This wouldn't be good for us. Where would we then turn to if God became unrighteous? Does that make sense? That's why it's all about Him, and should be all about Him.
