How do we know that God's glory is revealed in our weakness?

Answered in 1 source

God's glory is revealed through our weaknesses, demonstrating that the power of salvation and transformation is of Him and not of us.

Paul explains in 2 Corinthians 4:7 that we have this treasure in earthen vessels so that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. Our human weaknesses and struggles serve as a backdrop against which God's power shines brighter. When we acknowledge our limitations and frailty, we create space for God’s strength to be manifested. This paradox of strength through weakness emphasizes that salvation and spiritual transformation come solely from God's omnipotent grace, underscoring the truth that God is actively working in and through our vulnerabilities for His glory.
