I was asking what the term “according to the riches of glory” as in my God shall supply all your needs according to the riches of glory through Christ Jesus.
I wanted to know what “according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” means. So I asked. What I was told was to find out what glory meant. It seems to mean “weight” or how awesome it is, you know heavy. To give something value. SO its like this
(riches is a variable) x Weight by (Christ Jesus, the word)=amount of supply
So in the same measure you give the words and trust Christ will be measured back to you. This is born out by other scriptures like “be careful how you hear for with the same measure that you hear will be measured back to you.” and what ever you sow you reap. This would make sense because it would be the way to make sure that everyone was treated fairly, including Christ. Since he made all this world and everything was made for his glory then anyone attributing glory to him should get a return. Also God would want to make sure to put growth and blessings in branches that produce. Since The real purpose of existence seems to be love and the glory of God then anything that gets in line with that purpose is blessed eventually. Its probably a little more complicated than this but in general I can see it working. For instance if someone puts faith in Gods word for salvation they receive it even if they say don’t ever believe in divine healing. By the way in the message Bible it translates that “green the color of glory.” I found that interesting since a lot of the world is green and that there is a green rainbow over Gods throne.
Just found your blogs.. have started reading this one just now.. taking a moment to comment.. I love this blog.
It reflects the personal, “right there next to you” friendship we have in God.
Too cool!
Very interesting. This is the verse that I am meditating on nowadays in correlation with Gal 2: 20. If I am crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me, that means that God the Father will supply all the need of Jesus who lives in Leena, according to His riches, and God will not hold back anything from Christ Jesus who lives in Leena. Wow! that’s impressive! So, the more that I (Leena) offer my body upto God as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), the more the supply from God.
