“Give to the LORD the glory due His name;
 Bring an offering and come before Him,
 Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!”  1 Chronicles 16:29

All glory belongs to Holy God and His name is who He is!  Isaiah 42:8 says,
“I am the LORD, that is my name;
 And My glory I will not give to another,
 Nor My praise to graven images (idols).”

Old Testament Scripture tells of the Lord’s gracious dealings with the transgressions of the Israelites for His own sake as we see in the following verses:

As when they rebelled at the Red Sea:
“Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
 They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,
 But rebelled by the sea--the Red Sea.
 Nevertheless He saved them for His name sake,
 That He might make His mighty power known.”  Psalm 106:7-8

Of their transgressions, Isaiah 43:25 says,
“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake;
And I will not remember your sins.”

“…it is not for your sake…but for My holy name…I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst.  Then the nations will know that I am the LORD,’  declares the LORD God, ‘when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight.’”  Ezekiel 36:22-23

In Isaiah 48:11, in the Amplified Bible, we get a clearer understanding:
“For My own sake, for My own sake, I do it [I refrain and do not utterly destroy you];  for why should I permit My name to be polluted and profaned [which it would be if the LORD completely destroyed His chosen people]?  And I will not give My glory to another [by permitting the worshipers of idols to triumph over you].”

How grateful I am that in the ‘fullness of time’ Christ Jesus came!  Jesus fulfilled the law!  He has established a new covenant in His blood.  We now live in the dispensation of grace!
“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were born under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.”  Galatians 4:4-5

We are the recipients of the mighty work that God wrought in His beloved Son.  It is a free gift to us (by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God), but at an immeasurable price to Holy God.

“It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.  Galatians 5:1  
And,
“Walk in the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.”  
Vs. 16

“For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”  1 Corinthians 6:20

We gladly give our Lord God all the glory.  For it belongs to no one else!  From beginning to end He alone is to be praised, honored and worshipped!
Amen

Join with me in song:
“O, the glory of Your name,
The splendor of your name,
And none can compare 
with the power of that name;
You are Jesus, You are Lord’
You are God!”
