How do we know salvation brings glory to God?

Salvation is not simply about escaping hell; it is fundamentally about glorifying God. Ephesians 1 speaks of believers being 'to the praise of His glory' who first trusted in Christ. This underscores that the act of salvation is an outworking of God's glorious grace and mercy. Every step of the redemptive process points back to glorifying God, especially as it is performed through the work of Christ on the cross. Hence, our redemption is not just personal but cosmic, as it reveals the glorious nature of God’s plan for humanity.
