God's Glory

God's first commitment is to His own glory and that this is the basis for ours. I had never heard anyone say that God does everthing for His glory, too, and that is why we should. I had never heard anyone explain that the role of the Holy Spirit is to burn in me what He has been burning with for all eternity: God's love for God. Or more precisely, God the Father's delight in the panorama of His own perfections reflected as a perfect image in His Son.
