All of creation testifies of His glory. Whether we attest to it or not, we do live in His glory. Our purpose is to bring Him glory. When we recognize Him, we are bringing Him glory. All that we do should point to Him and that is bringing Him glory. There is really little to do as HE IS GLORIOUS all of the time and we need to point it out. That is really simplified but the best I can do:) |

One of the early Christian writers said that the glory of God was a man or woman fully human. |

God's glory is God's presence, and God's presence is the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of Christ, and to live in his presence 24/7 requires participation from the person. God gives each person 24 hours a day for 7 days a week, to do with however each one chooses, either to spend it with him or else without him. Walking in the Spirit requires prayer and worship and obedience. Jesus said: "the Father has not left me alone, for I do always those things that please him." John 8:29. |

2 Corinthians 4:6
For God who commanded light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
The glory of God: Jesus
Live it by faith, love, trust and obdience to every word of God.

God reveals His glory in His just dealings with humans. He also reveals it in the storms and events of nature. So, when a storm is all around your house, remember the glory of God [Ps. 29 and Isa. 6]. Glory is that side of God which humans recognize and to which humans respond in confession, worship, and praise. Human praise to God can be false. At times God creates glory for Himself. Humans are not to seek glory for themselves. Look for this from Christ. |

A mother asked Jesus if her two sons can be next to Jesus in his glory.
Glory may be said to be what the ear has never heard and the eye has never seen nor what has not yet entered into the mind of a human.
To truly experience the full glory of God we will have to spiritually experience this after the resurection.
As humans ,we only glimpse this future reality. |

There's only one, and only one way, it's death. Condemn yourself now, kill your ambitions, deprive your needs, "whosoever finds his life shall lose it."
Find where self will drives you and subject it to stillness and careful examination through the word. Many are they that don't understand that they sin all the live long day.
I've excepted my lot, that even in my most sinless day I am wretched poor blind and naked. Value everyone above yourself. |

This is an interesting question. On occasion I have seen the glory of God on a person's face. Sometimes it is a child sometimes is a man, but more often. It is a woman. This Transfiguration of a face is one of light(brightness) and somberness while at the same time of joy. When first this happened to me I would only tell my wife. However today I make a point to tell the person that I see the glory of God on their face. And of course, they are always very happy to hear this. |

God knows how to fold the fabric of our lives to expose lovely qualities and blessings we didn't suspect were there. He reveals beautiful patterns when we allow Him to trim us. |

God's glory is however He is shown the way He really is. And we share in this, as much as we really are in His love. To do this 24/7 . . . it's how He makes us "as He is...in this world" (1 John 4:17), by transforming our character to be like His love. But we still need more correction (Hebrews 12:8), so I'd say we aren't 24/7. His love has us feeling what He is feeling, showing us how He really is. And ALL-loving, in beautifully pure pleasantness satisfying us to care for all people. |
