• Raiter preaches on the glory of God based on Exodus 14 and Ephesians 1. Exodus 14 emphasises the activity of God and the passivity of men. God deliberately leads the Israelites into a precarious position. God's purpose is expressed in the situation resulting in the destruction of Pharaoh and the Egyptians. God changed the minds of the Egyptians regarding their vow in order to defeat them. It was entirely the activity and sovreignty of God that resulted in the outcome of events, for the sake of His glory. God saved believers, as described in Ephesians 1, for the sake of His glory. For God to do something for the sake of His glory involves the world recognise, acknowledge, and appreciate His character and actions. Three reasons why God is right in wanting this recognition and praise to occur. Firstly, it is righteousness to value and honour the thing or being that is worthy of value of honour; it is unrighteousness to take this value and honour and give it to something else. Righteousness demands we give to God all of the glory. Secondly, we cannot always apply human standards to God. All good things come from God; within Him all wisdom, insight, power, and strength. It is appropriate for God to receive all glory. Thirdly, it is loving of God to command and demand that we praise Him. Joy is consummated and heightened when placed into words.
