¬ Who Exists for God & If We Exist for God, We Exist for His Glory

Isaiah 43:7 Everyone who is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, even whom I have made.”

Jeremiah 13:11 `For as the waistband clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole household of Israel and the whole household of Judah cling to Me,’ declares the LORD, `that they might be for Me a people, for renown, for praise, and for glory; but they did not listen.

¬ If we exist for His Glory, We exist for His Character!

Exodus 34:6 Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate, and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness and truth 7 who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.

We see this in the life of Christ!

John 14:7 The Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, glory of the only begotten for of Grace and Truth!

¬ If We Exist for His Character, We exist for His Ministry!
