But what is behind the somewhat nebulous concept of glory? The crazy thing is that most Christians would have a hard time defining glory. They just know that is something beyond that is divine and unearthly and out of this world good. But what is glory and how does it related to you personally now and in the future? It has to do with a piece of God that is within the follower of Yeshua the Messiah. This is not some pagan, new age or eastern mystical religious counterfeit and demonic concept. Not at all!
