GoD's WorK - God's Puzzle Solved

God's Glory29ters. All of God’s complete goodness and love for everythingis being worked out in God’s plan - and it “is” God’s “glory.”All that “is” comes from God. God is to be “All and In All.”The Greek word “doxa” is “God’s glory” in The New Testamentand the word “kabow’d” in The Old Testament carries the samemeaning.Read Exodus 33:20-23 and you should see clearly that no onehas seen God because they would not have lived.
