Day4
1 Thessalonians 2:10-12
“With God as our witness you saw how we lived among you—in holiness, in godly relationships, and without fault. And you know how affectionately we treated each one of you, like a loving father cares for his own children. We comforted and encouraged you and challenged you to adopt a lifestyle worthy of God, who invites you into his kingdom and glory.”

Glory
IN GENERAL, IT MAY BE ACCURATELY SAID THAT…
(1) GLORY HAS TO DO WITH LIGHT… it is shining, often striking, bedazzling light…
(2) GLORY IS HEAVY… it is something that has weight…
(3) GLORY IS VISIBLE… it is something you can see; it is meant to be seen
THE HEBREW AND GREEK WORDS FOR “GLORY” AND “GLORIFY”… It is always good to begin a study on any biblical subject with the lexical information of the words in the original languages of the Bible…
THE MAIN HEBREW WORD IS כָּבוֹד†(kah-vode) or כָּבֹד†(kah-vode – alternate spelling) Strong’s No. 3519. (200 times) glory —1. heaviness, burden (in both a good and bad sense) Is 2224 Nah 210; —2. a©†riches Gn 311 Is 103 616 6612; b©†reputation, importance Gn 4513
THE MAIN GREEK WORD IS do,xa (dox-ah) 1391.

THE ENGLISH NOUN “GLORY” IS FOUND 606 TIMES IN OUR ENGLISH BIBLES… 376 in the O.T. and 230 in the N.T. The word is obviously used a lot. It is the noun, more than the verb, that we will focus on in this brief study. Unquestionably, “glory” is an important word…
We are summoned by God to enter in to His glory.
