Episode 229: How do I obtain the glory of God? part 2

Hello everyone. In today's Bible study we answer the question, since we are all born in sin and come short of the glory of God, "how do I obtain the glory of God?"
In Romans 3:23 the scripture reads, "For all have sinned". While this is absolutely true most people tend to ignore the remainder of the verse as if it is not just as important as the first segment.
The next segment of verse 23 states "and have come short of God's glory."
Friend, do you understand that as a sinner, it is not sufficient to just be forgiven of your sins? Let me give you a brief explanation.
The death of Christ is sufficient for the forgiveness of sins. A one time sacrifice that satisfies the righteous judge of a holy God against the sinner. However there remains a serious problem. DEATH has no glory.
In order to come into God's presence one must be alive and must possess the same quality of glory that God has. How then is that possible for the forgiven yet dead sinner? The resurrection of Christ by the glory of the Father!
The forgiven sinner is imputed the righteous glory that Christ received from the Father when He raised Jesus from the dead!
As it is written: Romans 11:33
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
Today's study is 1 hour and 7 minutes in duration therefore I have broken it into two segments. This is segment 2 of 2 titled "how do I obtain the glory of God? part 2"
