Proper Heart Motive

What should be the Christian's motive for finding freedom from bondage to impurity?: The Glory of God.

Where is the glory of God seen most clearly?: In the Person of Jesus Christ, Who is the radiance of Gods glory.

What is it that enables us to be transformed?: To be transformed in the glory of the Lord (Romans 12:2). To turn to him so that our eyes and our ears are opened to the truth (Matt 13:15).

Isaiah 6:1-5

"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:

"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;

The whole earth is full of His glory!"

4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 So I said:

"Woe is me, for I am undone!

Because I am a man of unclean lips,

And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts"


One interesting thing to note is that as Isaiah saw the glory of God he was humbled, and he saw his sin most clearly. If we see the glory of God, we too will see our own uncleanness, and will need to cry out for grace as Isaiah did.

May we all focus together on God's glory and seek Him together for grace to be free!
