All praise, glory and honour belong to God our Creator, and to Him alone. It is not just being ungrateful and wrong to thank someone else, but also a sin, to do so, because all the good we have ever received, is from God alone. The least we can, and should do is, to be grateful to Him, eternally. Paul, writing the epistle to Romans, has these words in Romans 11:36, to which, we all should pay close attention – “36 Because of Him, and through Him, and to Him [are] all things; to Him [is] the glory—for all ages. Amen.”
BECAUSE of HIM, and THROUGH HIM, and TO HIM [are] ALL THINGS – All things that are seen, and unseen, are created and sustained by God. He is the All in All,” the Almighty God!!! God is the One, when we failed and fell in the Garden of Eden, thought about rescuing and restoring us. God need not have done this act of mercy, grace and generosity. He could have simply destroyed us, which we rightfully deserve. Rather He chose to save us!!! Therefore – “to Him [is] the glory—for all ages. Amen.”
Let us all remain ever so grateful to the LORD, and continue to live for Him as the Living Sacrifices. Let us not steal His glory. Let us lift Him up in and through our lives, because all glory, all honour and all praise, rightfully belongs to God and God alone.
"The glory of God always comes at the sacrifice of self."
