“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  We now enter the third month of going slowly and deeply through this fascinating book by Steve Lawson. Just a reminded – any words with quotation marks come directly from him. Anything else is my commentary or other efforts to help with the flow of Steve’s thoughts. Of course, you can go to www.ligonier.org and buy the book as at least one member has done. Today’s Ligonier ‘Daily Video’ looks at “The Aseity of God” as we did last week.

  People of all ages often ask a question that baffles many and the Biblical response should lead to awe. How would you respond to someone who asks “Who made God?” Sadly, many Christians have no answer. Steve has the answer as he cites Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” He then observes, “Before anything was created, God already existed. No external power brought Him into being. Before God created any life, He already possessed life in Himself.” We must respond to that question with certainty that no one made God. He is uncreated! Simply stated, “God is Self-existent.”

   The encounter Moses had with God at the burning bush teaches us much about God’s self-existence. “Any other bush would be consumed by this fire. But this blazing bush was strangely maintaining its own existence, because the self-existent God was in the bush.” God then states His name is “I AM WHO I AM!” “This name for God declared that He is the sole self-existent One. He is entirely dependent on Himself for His own being. As God, He alone sustains Himself, yet nothing upholds Him…God is unchanging in His being, never evolving, devolving.”

  Isaiah 43:10 reads, “Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.” We learned that “No one preceded God or produced Him. No false deity will follow Him. He existed long before any man-made idol was crafted…God is the only necessary being. This means that He cannot not be. Whoever and whatever exists is dependent on God as the one necessary, preexistent being. All creation is contingent on the existence of God.”

  Therefore, we can joyfully affirm that God is self-existent. We can live with confidence in the One who was and is and ever will be!   Pastor Gillikin

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  Theologians use a small word to describe one of God’s more profound attributes. The term ‘aseity’ has great implications for His character and for God’s people. Aseity combines two Latin words for ‘from and ‘self’ and means “to have being or existence within oneself. It means that God exists in Himself and possesses all that He needs within Himself. He is the all-sufficient Sustainer of His own being. He lacks nothing with Himself and needs nothing outside Himself. Yet, everyone and everything is dependent upon Him.”

  Steve quotes R. C. Sproul definition, “God is self-sufficient. He has the power of being in and of Himself. He depends on nothing and no one for His existence.” I had the joy of hearing Dr. Sproul speak on this topic thirty years ago. He said that saying the term sends chills up and down his spine. The idea of anything in the universe having the ability to be truly independent of anything outside itself should amaze. At the end of his lecture, the crowd of several hundred people sat there spellbound. His words filled everyone with a deep awe of God.

  Steve builds on Sproul’s teaching with these wonderful words about our great God. “He is beyond all the processes of space and time and is therefore immovable and unchanging. Without his all-sustaining presence, all creation and the laws of science would crumble. The universe would collapse without His sovereign and powerful cohesion of all order, all life, and all matter. His self-existence guarantees the existence of all else.” Scripture teaches this truth in Acts 17:28, “In Him we live and move and have our being” and Colossians 1:17, “He is before all things and in Him all things hold together.”

 Please do not see this as a dry and dusty doctrine. This is about the essence of God’s character, as well as our physical and spiritual existence. “only God exists without beginning and maintains Himself by His own self-sustaining power. He is the uncaused first cause, the uncreated Creator, the unmade Maker, the unsustained Sustainer. No one upholds God. Nothing sustains Him. He is independent of everyone and autonomous from everything. Yet, all that He has made is – at every moment – dependent on Him for everything.”

  His aseity calls God’s people to declare their dependence on Him and rests in His perfect, self-sustaining character. In this time of pandemic we need His aseity!

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  By winning his seventh Super Bowl ring and fifth Most Valuable Player in that game a few weeks ago Tom Brady put to rest any discussion about who might be the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in pro football. Yet within a short time (it may have already resumed) people will argue that their favorite player desires that moniker instead of Brady. [I will not mention a certain Tar Heel from Wilmington who a few people think is the GOAT of basketball.]

  The true GOAT must be the “triune God, who eternally exists in three persons, (who) cannot be compared with any man-fabricated God” or sports stars. In Exodus 8:10, Moses stated to Pharaoh, “There is no one like the LORD our God.” This took place before the ten plagues occurred. After Israel passed through the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army drowned, “Moses led the celebration of the God who delivered them: ‘Who is like You among the gods, O LORD? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praise, working wonders?’ (Ex. 15:11) The only answer to these rhetorical questions is, unquestionably, there is no one like God.”

  In Moses last words to Israel as they prepared to go into the Promised Land, he encouraged them to focus on the incomparable God, “There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your help, and through the skies I His majesty.” (Dt. 33:26) Steve comments, “The emphasis is strongly placed on the uniqueness of God. There is absolutely none with whom to compare Him.” Others in the Old Testament, like Hannah in 1 Samuel 2:2 and David in 2 Samuel 7:22, give praise to God because “No deity, no angelic being, or no person can compare with the unequaled greatness of God.”

  Therefore, “God demands our exclusive loyalty to Him. He alone is God, and He alone must be our sole trust and confidence. God and God alone must be our hope in this life and the life to come…May we say with the apostle Paul, ‘One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus’ (Phil. 3:13-14). May this be out one goal – the pursuit of knowing this triune God through Jesus Christ. May all else be secondary – may He be primary.” God is the GOAT!

“God Is Exclusive” by Steve Lawson

    Humans have a favorite word we use when we challenge a rule that we do not like. We simply ask, “Why?” This one word puts the rule maker or rule enforcer on the defensive. They must explain the reasoning behind the making and keeping of the rule. They may have to resort to giving some sort of cost/benefit analysis. Little children ask “why?” often when a parent forbids them from being disobedient. The child’s defiance leads to the parent giving plenty of reasons.

  Sadly, way too often, God’s people want God to answer their “whys” about following His commands. Much of our questioning should come to an end when we acknowledge that God is the only true God and that He alone has every right (and the duty) to tell those created in His image how to live. The fact that “God is exclusive” impacts our lives. Look to the last paragraph to see what that is.

  Moses records the first commandment to be, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Steve Lawson then notes, “Any other god is simply the result of the vain thought of darkened minds. Any other deity has no basis in reality whatsoever.” In the second giving of the Ten Commandments in Dt. 5:7, God restates the same words. “God is emphatic that He alone is exclusively God.”

  Later in Isaiah 45:5-6 God says, “I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides me there is no God…There is no one beside Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other.” The Psalms teach God’s exclusiveness by calling Him “the LORD.” [For homework, explore the Psalms and count at least twenty uses of “the Lord.”] The term merits all capital letters as it refers to the holy name of God which Israel held so highly that they did not speak it or even write it. We know that name as Yahweh or Jehovah. It refers to God’s eternal nature, sovereignty, perfection and supernatural character. No other small ‘g’ god can compare to Him.

  Therefore, all other “gods are nonexistent and (have) no basis in reality. The exclusive God demands to be worshiped as the only God.” We must get rid of any gods in our lives that keep us from worshiping the exclusive God and living to His glory alone.

  “Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  The three persons of the Trinity share several characteristics. “This one God, who exists as three persons, is eternal. He is without beginning, eternally the same in His divine being.” Little else can be called eternal. The souls of men and the Word of God head up and encompass the list of what will last forever. Heaven and hell can be added to that list, but little else. “Each member of the Trinity is eternal, without beginning. All three persons in the Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – are uncreated.” 

  “God the Father is Eternal. Moses writes: “Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God” (Ps. 90:1-2). Many other passages, such as Ps. 83:2; Is. 57:15; and Hab. 1:12, declare that God is everlasting. Our benediction for this Sunday from 1 Timothy 1:17 states God is “the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God…” Twice in Revelation (1:4; 4:8) John worships God “who was and who is and who is to come.”

  Two familiar Old Testament prophesies show God the Son is eternal. Isaiah 9:6 predicts, “His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. This child to be born is ‘Eternal Father,’ meaning the One who eternally cares for His people like a father.” Micah tells us in 5:2 Jesus will be born in Bethlehem and adds, “His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity.” John 1:1 agrees with Genesis 1:1 with the statement, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” In His high priestly prayer in John 17:5 Jesus asks that the Father glory Him “with the glory which I had with you before the world was.”

  Genesis 1:2 bears witness to the eternal nature of the Holy Spirit as “the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.” Hebrews 9:12 describes the third person of the Trinity as the “eternal Spirit.”

  Clearly all three person of the Godhead are eternal with no beginning. Does this make a difference in our lives? Absolutely! God can never be described as a passing fad. He is everlasting. He remains as true today as He ever has been. His rule over all things remains eternal. His character does not change. “He is truly immortal as He gives everlasting life to His people forever.” Chew over that last sentence and take comfort in the eternal God.

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  Steve wrote earlier “there is one God who exists in three distinct persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each of the three persons of the Godhead is God – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are each fully God.” This remains a mystery to us – though not totally. We will struggle to understand “that the Father in unbegotten, the Son is begotten of the Father, and the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.” These are Biblical truths seem to be, but are not, in conflict with the teaching that the Father, Son and Spirit “are three divine persons who are coequal and coeternal.” Steve uses four passages from the New Testament to “each person of the Trinity is His own person in the Godhead...distinct, yet they are one God.”

  In the Great Commission, found in Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands people be baptized “in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Jesus mentions all three persons of the Trinity, while separating them with ‘and’ for a reason. “They are not one person, but three distinct persons.” At the same time He employs the singular ‘name’ signifying the one God can be known by one name.

  At the baptism of Jesus in Matthew 3:13-17, all three persons of the Godhead played significant roles. “As God the Son went down into the water, God the Father spoke from heaven and God the Spirit descended upon Him.” All three members of the Trinity acted in a way that allowed them to function uniquely.

    “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all” reads the benediction of 2 Corinthians. 13:14. “Here, all three persons of the Godhead are clearly distinct. Again, the word “and” – not “or” – distinguishes the three divine persons.”

  Last, Steve states, “John would not have placed the Spirit between the Father and the Son if he had not regarded the Spirit as divine.” He points to Revelation 1:4-5 where John wrote, “Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.”

  All three persons of the Trinity remain distinct, yet one. This is God’s design and worthy of knowing better and of giving all their deserved praise.  Pastor Gillikin

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  God shows His glory in incredible ways. Our finite minds grasp some of His revelation, while others stretch beyond our mental capacity at times. The doctrine of the Trinity poses a unique problem. As noted last time, the term appears no where in the Bible, yet the sacred pages clearly teach it.

  Steve Lawson stresses that the ‘most fundamental teaching of the Scripture is this cornerstone truth, that there is only one God.” Simply reading the first verse of the Bible informs that God created all things. “This one God spoke into being everything out of nothing.” When Moses writes down the ‘Shema’ in Deuteronomy 6:4, he states, “Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one.” In eleven words all can see “this simple statement of faith strongly declares a monotheistic view of God. The true God is the one and only God revealed in the Bible.” This sets the God of the Bible apart from the ‘gods’ of other religions.

  Steve cites three more verses in Deuteronomy (4:35; 4:39; 32:39) that drive home the point that there is only one true God and none other. “The God of the Bible is the one and only true God.” Of course, “Jesus quotes the Shema when asked about the greatest commandment…This resolutely reaffirms what was taught earlier by the prophets.” It must be noted that the Holy Spirit authored the Bible, so all persons of the Trinity agree there is only one true God.

  Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 8:6, “There is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him” and in 1 Timothy 2:5, “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” To drive home this doctrine in a pointed way James 2:19 avows, “You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. Even hell knows this truth.”

  This doctrine must be believed and also lived out. Our Statements of Faith the past two Lord’s Days have come from what the Shorter Catechism says about the first commandment. We are to have no other gods in our lives besides the true God of the Bible. He alone deserves our worship. We must not “worship or give glory to any other which is due to God alone.”

  May we worship the one God alone as He directs in His revealed word.  Pastor Gillikin

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

All that Steve Lawson has written until now can be seen as preliminary observations about the character of God. To really understand God “we must start with the most difficult aspect of His divine being to understand. The doctrine of the Trinity is the most mind-stretching truth when it comes to understanding who God is.” He opens the chapter by quoting Charles Spurgeon:

“Nothing will so enlarge the intellect and magnify the whole soul of a man 
as a devout, earnest, continued investigation of the whole subject of the Trinity.”

 You will not find the term ‘Trinity’ in the Bible, yet Scripture clearly teaches “there is one God who exists in three distinct persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each of the three persons of the Godhead is God – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are each fully God. Each of these three divine persons is coequal and coeternal with the other persons of the Trinity. As one God, the three persons share the exact same divine eternal nature.” 

 Many people do not believe in the Trinity. That will bring great danger. Why? “To reject this truth is to reject the gospel itself. Jesus must be truly God and truly man in order to die a sin-bearing, substitutionary death on the cross and take away the sins of His people. [Jesus must be God.] Or who among us can actually comprehend how the Bible is divinely inspired, yet also written by human authors? [The Holy Spirit must be God.]” 

 Like all doctrine, it requires faith received from God. As seen earlier, unlike other ‘gods’ who cannot speak, God reveals Himself. “We cannot truly understand all that the Trinity means, but we must believe it by faith.” Thus the next several looks in Steve’s book on some basic truths that will help us understand the triunity of our great God.

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  Let’s have a quick context to pick the most misused work in the English language over the past twenty years. Please do not think too hard about it because “awesome” wins in a landslide. I promise not to be the language police should I happen to hear you use the term to describe anything other than our Holy God, though I am tempted to do so.

  Steve Lawson should end our careless use of the term when he writes, “If God manifested all that He is in His blazing glory, Moses would immediately die. He could not withstand beholding the full revelation of the glory of God. Finite flesh cannot look on an infinite God and live. It would be easier for Moses to look directly into the blazing light of the sun than to look on God in His dazzling glory.” No doubt nothing on earth we have ever called “awesome” can compare to the glory of God.

  We must remember that God is spirit and does not have a physical body. God told Moses, “You cannot see My face.” Steve then explains, “The ‘face’ of God represents the display of His glory. God does not have a literal face.” The Bible uses anthropomorphic language to communicate to us as metaphors, so we have a better idea of the character of God. In Exodus 33 God instructs Moses to stand on a rock and God will allow him to see His back as He passes by. Moses “cannot look directly into the face of God and live. Moses can only see a partial glory – or the divine afterglow. He cannot bear to behold the full revelation of who God is.”

  Steve then states, “Each one of us needs a closer encounter with this awesome God.” Instead of running from the Holy God we must run toward Him. We need to know the awesome better and more deeply. “No matter where we are in life’s journey, none of us has reached the full knowledge of God. We all need to pray this heartfelt plea (“Show me Your glory’). As we behold more of His glory and majesty, we will see more clearly who we are and our direction in the plan of God.”

  “A growing knowledge of God enables us to live with enlarged faith in the midst of the storms of life. The only way we will be anchored firmly in the will of God and not be swayed by the turbulence of this world is by personally experiencing the far greater understanding of the character of God. A deepening knowledge of God will ignite our hearts with a blazing love for Him – and trust in Him.”

  Let’s pray that we will know our awesome God more. God will answer that prayer. Pastor Gillikin

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  In Romans 9:15 Paul quotes part of God’s verbal response to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” I have never noticed anyone objecting to what Moses records in Exodus 33:19. However, when Paul uses the same inspired words of God, many people cringe. Just a few verses earlier Paul brought up the glorious doctrine of election. Paul anticipates the reader will think it unfair that God loved some and not all. Paul goes on to spend the rest of Romans 9 explaining election.

 To many people it seems audacious of God to decide by Himself who gets eternal life. Yet we must confess it to be part of God’s character to do so. Steve Lawson writes, “This graciousness toward undeserving, sinful creatures is the apex of His glory. He will sovereignly choose to set His saving favor on whomever He will. In other words, God will deal with Moses in mercy, unlike the exercise of His wrath toward Pharaoh and the Egyptians.”

  Steve goes on to explain that “God is autonomous. He will do whatever He please. He alone possesses the right of self-government and has complete freedom in his actions. “God is self-ruling and self-determining. He is independent of the will of His creatures, both sovereign and free in His actions.”

  Again, as in all Biblical interpretation, we must look at the context. Moses has appealed to God after Israel has greatly sinned by making the golden calf. They deserved judgment and wrath, but look what God, “who is rich in mercy” per Eph. 2:4, does. Paul wrote in Titus 3:5, “He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy.” This act by the self-ruling God leads Peter in 1 Peter 1:3 to declare, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope.” We must understand that God “sets His heart on sinners whom He has chosen to save. He sees us in our state of utter ruin. For reasons known only to God, He chooses to have mercy on those who have no claim to it.”

  Will you join all God's people in praising Him for His great mercy? Pastor Gillikin

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  God answers Moses request to show His glory by saying, “I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim My name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on who I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion” (Ex. 33:19). God tells Moses that greater displays of His glory are yet to come. “When we come to God in humble submission, desiring to know more of Him, He delights to reveal more of Himself to us.”

  This incredible statement should make us shudder in awe. This gives us proof that the God of the Bible must be true. No other god can reveal its glory. All other gods lack the ability to do so. They have no life or mental ability. All other gods have been created by fallen people who have an innate desire to worship. Their blind eyes and hard hearts rebel against God by seeking the alleged glory of God, thus exchanging truth for a lie.

  Note God stated in Exodus 33, “I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you.” God equates His glory “with His goodness. This aspect of God represents His moral purity.” God then uses a word that could be translated as preaching when He says, “I will proclaim My name, the Lord, is your presence.” Steve explains, “God announces that He will bring an authoritative and powerful exposition of Himself to Moses. This will be a fervent and passionate proclamation by God to His servant…God will preach on ‘the name of the Lord’ The divine name refers to everything that God is – the whole of His nature, character, and person.”

  Again, we must ask God to reveal Himself to us more and more. Doing this comes with a blessing. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that God “rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Knowing God is not only the name of a great book by J. I. Packer. It must be the passion of every person who claims Jesus as Savior and Lord. Show that passion and watch how God will surprise you.

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  We need to make sure we know what Moses sought when he asked God to show him His glory. We can use words without understanding their meaning. A dictionary describes glory as “fame…renown…worshipful adoration…radiant beauty.” Those definitions make sense to us, but fail to grasp the depth of what glory, literally “heavy” meant in Hebrew.

  Steve writes, “In ancient times, the greatness of a man was determined by the weight of his assets. The richer the man was, the weightier was the accumulation of his silver, gold, and precious jewels. The word represented the greatness of a man in his surrounding community. The weight of his wealth determined the measure of the influence he had.”

  God has much greater glory than any human. “The word glory represents the infinite weightiness of who He is. The glory of God reflects the sum and substance of His holy character. It encompasses His divine perfections, attributes, and essence…In short, the glory of God is the display of His infinite grandeur and vast greatness.”

  Shortly before Moses made his request for God Israel had grossly sinned against God by making and worshipping a golden calf. After God struck the people with a plague (Ex. 32:35) He tells Moses to lead Israel – “a stiff-necked people” – on to “the land flowing with milk and honey.” Moses wonders if he has the ability to lead them to the Promised Land. God assures him in Ex. 33:14, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” God’s clearly stated promise should be enough, yet Moses wants clear evidence that shows more of the greatness of God. We live in a crazy world that tests our faith and have us wanting reassurance just as Moses desired. Note Steve’s observation and how practical seeing God glory can be for us.

  “Moses is confronted with the mounting challenges of his ministry. He is facing the pressures of leading a group of rebellious Israelites through the wilderness. With an expanded knowledge of God, he can withstand any difficulty in the long journey ahead. With a more intimate knowledge of God, he can persevere through the toughest times. If God will show him His glory, he can endure the fiery trials and afflictions that are to come.”

  May God show us His glory so we may persevere as we live by faith in Him. Pastor Gillikin

“Show Me Your Glory” by Steve Lawson

  We are just into the fifth page of Steve’s delightful book and I find myself saying out loud “WOW!” about every other sentence. We must yearn to see the glory of God. Moses saw it in incredible ways before he asked God for it in Exodus 33. The movie “The Ten Commandments” gives us a look at what Moses had experienced. Hollywood used plenty of special effects. Moses saw the real thing in real time.

  Steve writes that at the burning bush, “He had heard the audible voice of God, say, “I AM WHO I AM”…Moses had already witnessed the pillar of cloud lead Israel out of Egypt. He has seen the invisible hand of God part the Red Sea and drown Pharaoh’s hordes. He had already seen water come gushing out of a rock and had beheld the fire fall on Mount Sinai and consume the mountainside.”

  After experiencing all of these supernatural events, Moses asked for more. I think most of us would be content with seeing just one of those spectacles. What is Moses’ motive? Steve opines, “Moses is praying that he would see and experience a yet deeper knowledge of God. Moses understood he had only skimmed the surface of the bottomless depths of the majesty of God. He had barely placed the tip of his smallest finger into the vast oceans of the wonders of God. He must know more of this awesome God.”

  Most likely we will not see this side of heaven the glory of God as Moses witnessed it. Yet we must have that same passion for God to show His glory to us. Our hymnal has many “hymns of aspiration” with this theme. The first lines of three standards make their intent clear:

- “Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart…”
- “Open my eyes that I may see glimpses of truth Thou hast for me…”
- “More about Jesus would I know, more of His love to others show…”

  We peruse various forms of media daily seeking for something to occupy our time and minds. Nothing greater can consume of than the pursuit of His glory. May He show us His glory each day.  Pastor Gillikin
