Soli Deo Gloria


Glory to God alone.

We’ll close out the week with the last of the five solas of the Reformation, soli Deo gloria — that is, only God receives glory for our salvation. 


The Apostle Paul said it well:

1 Timothy 1:17 (NIV)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

My salvation is less about me and more about God — actually, all about God.

 


Good morning, Lord. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote SDG (“soli Deo gloria,” meaning Glory to God alone) at the end of his compositions. I don’t compose music, but my life tells a story. Can I stamp SDG to the end of each day? Teach me to live every hour for Your glory, O God, and not my own.
