We give him all the Glory.

 Amen. "We give Him all the glory." This is the ultimate purpose of the redeemed life—the final, fitting response to His mercy, grace, and salvation. This declaration is the very heartbeat of worship in Scripture.


When we say, "We give Him all the glory," we are engaging in the biblical practice of a doxology—a formal declaration of glory and praise to God.


📖 The Biblical Pattern of Giving Glory


This practice is woven throughout the Bible, culminating in a vision of eternal worship:


· The Proclamation of the Angels (Luke 2:14)

  "Glory to God in the highest..."

  · This was the first announcement of Christ's birth. Giving God glory is central to the Gospel story from its start.

· The Aim of the Christian Life (1 Corinthians 10:31)

  "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

  · Giving glory is not just for a worship service; it is the purpose of every mundane and sacred moment.

· The Eternal Cry of Heaven (Revelation 4:11)

  "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created."

  · This reveals that glory belongs to God inherently because He is the Creator. We give it back in recognition of who He is.


✨ What It Means to Give All the Glory


Your declaration is powerful in its totality—"all the glory." It means actively redirecting every honor, every success, and every ounce of praise away from ourselves and solely to Him.


· For Salvation: We take no credit. As Ephesians 2:8-9 says, it is "not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." All glory for our rescue goes to Him.

· For Transformation: When we pray, "Create in me a clean heart," and He answers, the glory for that new life belongs to the Potter, not the clay.

· For Good Works: Even the good things we do are because "God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13). The glory for the work goes to the One working through us.


🙏 A Doxology of All Glory


To the Father, who in steadfast love had mercy,

To the Son, the Lamb who justifies and saves,

To the Spirit, who gives power, love, and a sound mind,

We give all glory.


For the plan conceived in eternity,

For the grace executed in history,

For the faith ignited in our hearts,

We give all glory.


Not to us, O Lord, not to us,

But to Your name alone

Be all glory,majesty, dominion, and praise,

Now and forever.


Amen.


This is the great end of your journey in prayer. It began with a need ("Lord, I need you") and ends here, at the only right destination: giving Him all the glory. May your life be a continual echo of this truth.
