Bible Study: The Glory of God in the Face of Christ

As a simple aid in meditating on God’s word, simply copy this into your word processor, and give some time to meditate on each phrase until you feel that it has entered your heart. Either prayer-journal your way through each thought, or add in your conclusions after some prayerful meditation.

As you begin, be honest with God about where you are starting from, and ask him to guide you by his Spirit to know and understand him as you seek to know and understand his word.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (II Corinthians 4:6)

“For God…”

“who said,”

 “’Let light shine out of darkness,’”

“has shone…”

“in our hearts…”

“to give…”

“the light…”

“of the knowledge…”

“of the glory…”

“of God…”

“in the face…”

“of Jesus Christ.”

Conclusion:

1.  What stands out most about what God is showing you about yourself?

2.  What stands out most about what God is showing you about himself?

3.  Based on Philippians 2:12-13, “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure,”

A.  How would you describe what God is working in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure?

B.  How would you work out this aspect of your salvation with a fear and trembling response to your heavenly Father?
