Why is seeing God's glory important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Seeing God's glory enables Christians to understand their sinfulness and the grace found in Christ.

Understanding God's glory is essential for Christians as it leads to a realization of our own unworthiness and sinfulness. Isaiah, upon seeing the Lord high and lifted up, exclaimed, 'Woe is me, for I am undone' (Isaiah 6:5). This recognition of one's sin in light of God’s holiness is crucial because it brings about true repentance and a deeper appreciation for Christ's redemptive work. By acknowledging God's holiness, believers can grasp the magnitude of God's grace – that through Christ's sacrifice, their sins are purged and they are made righteous before Him. This vision of God's glory provides comfort and assurance that His grace is sufficient for their needs.
