What is the glory that God gives to His people?

In John 17:22, Jesus shares that the glory given to Him by the Father is also given to believers. This glory represents the glorious message of the gospel, revealing how sinful humanity can be reconciled to a holy God through Christ’s atoning sacrifice. This shared glory is not one of divine nature but of redemptive purpose, where believers reflect the light of Christ in their lives. Understanding this glory encourages Christians to live in a way that honors God’s gift of grace and shares the hope of the gospel with others, showing forth His glory in their transformed lives.
