How do we know God's glory is central to salvation?

Ephesians 1:4-6 reveals that God has chosen us for salvation 'according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace.' This highlights that God's motivation in electing and saving His people focuses on His glory. Every aspect of salvation—from choosing to redeem—to justifying, to the final glorification of believers—ultimately serves to display His magnificence and grace. When we recognize that God does all things to glorify Himself, we not only understand the nature of salvation but also appreciate the depth of His grace that allows sinners like us to be saved.
