day no. 14,537: all the work, all the credit

Psalm 98
God has used His strength to accomplish and declare salvation. And He has done it all for His own glory. The telos of all existence is doxological, not soteriological. That means the end goal of our salvation is not about us, it is about Him. It is about bringing Him more glory. God saves His elect with an outstretched arm so that He may be given thanks for it. He does all the work so that He can get all of the credit and He wants everyone to know all about it. God does everything for His own glory and we, His children by grace through faith in His Son, are benefactors. We are caught up in the train of His kingly procession that leads us to a place where His glory reigns forever.
