Episode 19 - Book of Romans: The “glory of God”: what is that, anyway?

Here’s one more take on Romans 8!

In this episode, we are focusing on the glory of God: what is it? What does it mean?

And whatever is Paul talking about when he says God’s children will be ‘glorified with him’? Can Christians really partake of the glory of God?

Paul starts by encouraging us to “celebrate the hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5: 2) and continues to help us understand what that all means in chapter 8.

And here’s the thing: it might not be what you imagine it to be. To understand Paul, we need to place ourselves in the position and the worldview of the 1st-century Jew and hear what they would have heard in Paul’s exhortations.

Think: God’s faithfulness, the reign of God in Christ, the glory of Rome, the coming of the new age, resurrected bodies, and dwelling with the Spirit!

Because when we are in Christ, there is no condemnation. . . AND also, there is the hope of ‘the freedom that comes when God's children are glorified.’ (Romans 8:21)

Join with us in strengthening your hope in the glory of God and in his promises for you!
