Everyone who’s born again has been glorified. It’s not something we’re hoping for or expecting to take place; it’s already happened. You have His glory in your life, and the implication of this is that you’re full of honor and Kingdom dignity! You can’t be dishonored, because His honor is on you! No wonder we have joy unspeakable, and full of glory, even in the midst of adversity! No wonder we’re so passionate for the Gospel; we can’t be persecuted enough to give this up. We have a life-changing message for the whole world.
When we see the youth around the world living a failed life, we feel it, because we know we hold the key to their salvation. We’re compelled to take the Gospel to them because we know that the one who has Christ is brought into a life of honor, glory, and dignity. That some people disregard you, spite you, and persecute you, shouldn’t mean anything to you! Never feel insulted about such things. God Himself has glorified you. No one can change that.
You’ve been glorified. If you’ve suffered anything for the sake of the Gospel, don’t worry; the Lord will reward you at the right time. The more shame men may try to put on you, the more glorious your light shines before the Lord! You’re decorated every time you suffer persecution for His Name’s sake; the glory on you increases. The angels can see the glory. Demons can see it too. And if God were to open your eyes in the spirit, you’d be amazed how glorious you’ve become for the things that you suffered for the sake of the Gospel. Therefore, never despair. Keep doing all that you do for the Lord with greater fervor and unquenchable passion.
