2 Thessalonians 1:10, “When He comes on that day, He will receive glory from His holy people, and be marveled at among all those who have believed!”
It is not in this world only, that God is glorified by His redeemed people. At the day of judgment, every saint will be a monument to God’s glory!
How God’s sovereign grace will appear to every one among them, when each sees himself as a brand plucked out of the fire!
And What stupendous wisdom will then be manifested in the wondrous plan whereby God has saved such undeserving, ill-deserving, Hell-deserving sinners!
What marvelous patience will God be seen to have exercised towards them, under all their manifold failings and backslidings!
And What unbounded mercy will be seen in Jesus pardoning their multiplied transgressions. He is saving them from eternal Hell!
Nor will His omnipotence be less an object of admiration. Because it is seen how wonderfully it has been exerted in converting their souls. He is preserving them unto His heavenly kingdom!
Therefore as long as there shall exist one glorified saint in Heaven–the perfections of the Godhead will be most eminently displayed in the salvation of sinful man!
“All glory to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding His blood for us. He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God His Father. All glory and power to Him forever and ever! Amen.” Revelation chapter 1:5-6
