“Not unto us O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory…” Ps 115:1.
There are many messages in the world that promise salvation. Only one gives to God ALL the glory. The gospel of God’s free and sovereign Grace in the glorious person and accomplished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, is the only message that will cause a sinner to declare, “not unto us O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory…”.
Truly, salvation is of the Lord and his people love it that way. The Lord gets all the glory in ELECTION having chosen us for no other reason than his own good pleasure and will. He gets all the glory in REDEMPTION, having by himself purged our sins with his own precious blood. He gets all the glory in REGENERATION, arresting us on the road to destruction and making us willing in the day of his power. Our God gets all the glory in SANCTIFICATION, keeping us from falling away and causing us to be renewed in faith day by day. He gets all the glory in GLORIFICATION, by presenting us faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. Every other message contrived by man robs God of his glory and credits it to man. “Not unto us O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name be (ALL) the glory…”. ~GE
