God's Glory in Our Death, Part 1 of 2
October 3, 2011
Even if we get “a new lease on life,” that lease will someday expire. All of us are on borrowed time, as one day, life will end. Believers who know the promises of God count on a life beyond this life. Meanwhile, we live to bring glory to God. At the end, even in our death, we are to glorify God. Today we will see the how and why of living a life in such a manner that when it’s over, God receives glory.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Human nature is a tough thing to change. We develop habits almost impossible to break. But there is one route to transformation. When the Spirit of God indwells a believer, he or she embarks on a journey whose end is being like Christ: transformed from the inside out by the glory of God. This is how a sinner can become a saint; how beholding God leads to our becoming like God.

When Moses came down from the mountain, he had to veil his face. God’s glory was making it light up like the sun. Believers share this hope, “And we with unveiled face beholding the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.” We can be transformed into God’s image when we abandon the hold sin has on our lives.

Life is no bed of roses. Sooner or later, everybody has pain. Everyone loses a loved one and all of us face the end of life. Believers know that God has a purpose in their suffering, a purpose they cannot fathom while going through the deep valley. Taking the long view of life, and realizing that the ultimate good of God’s glory far outweighs the immediate ruts we encounter in the race of life.

Hurting is part of life. Ask anyone in a cancer ward, facing a painful end of life with an incurable tumor. No one is exempt from suffering. Sooner or later, we will all experience it. Despite this truth, believers can hope. We are promised that suffering for the sake of Jesus will be rewarded.

It is said that “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” as if moral choices have no consequences. The truth is: that’s a lie. One way for believers to handle the temptation of sex outside marriage is to realize Who they take with them to bed. God Himself is a witness to all they do there since they are indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

Signs of the times: members of Congress are forced to resign when their sexual indescretions come to light. Everyone has to deal with sex since everyone was created a sexual being. No area of life is as challenging for a believer. First Corinthians was written to a church with serious moral issues.

In times of economic downturn, many have to take jobs beneath their skills and education. Would this be hard for you? Letting go of pride and accepting where you are as God’s place for you is humbling. At some point, any job beats no job. We must come to grips with God’s glory as your focus, and let Him orchestrate your promotions as well as demotions.

When economic hard times hit, people lose jobs, homes, and their self-respect. Even those still employed feel the heat. Fewer people work harder for companies to survive. Many people take jobs far beneath their skill levels. The American lifestyle is an endangered species as we learn to do with less.

A person blind from birth can only guess at what it would be like to be able to see. Light has little meaning to one in darkness. “The light of the gospel of the glory of Christ…” That is what Paul says the devil blinds people from seeing. It is a light God wants to shine on all who receive the redemption He offers through His Son.

God desires that all of His creation glorify Him. After all, no one is more worthy than He to receive the glory He deserves. At the core of God’s desire to bring glory to Himself is the plan of redemption He designed long before humanity came into being. Bringing many sons and daughters to glory was His intention even though He knew mankind would fall in the Garden of Eden.
