Christians Boasting

Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. — 1 Chronicles 16:10
What is your glory? Do you glory in your accomplishments, your wealth, your status, your looks, your piety, your humility ...? In the old hymn "Beneath the Cross of Jesus," we confess, "My glory, all the Cross." That's what Christians mean when we "glory in God's holy name." Our full understanding of God's holy name has been greatly expanded by Jesus. He taught us to not only reverence the name of God, but also to call him Father.

Any other cause of joy, any other basis for boasting, is a passing illusion. For those whose hearts seek the LORD, glory is found in reverencing the holy name of the Father who gave up his precious Son so we could be his children. He loves us that much. Incredible!

Divine Love in many Aspects 

. Unmerited – not that we loved God

1 John 4:10
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us  and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

. Unlimited – for God so loved the world

John 3:16
For God so loved  the world that he gave  his one and only Son,  that whoever believes  in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Questions in 1st Corinthians  

10:22
Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy?  Are we stronger than he?

10:29
I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom  being judged by another’s conscience?

God’s Word for God’s People

Zechariah 10:7
Those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man,
 And their heart shall rejoice as if with wine.
 Yes, their children shall see it and be glad;
 Their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
