Sole Deo gloria, all for the Glory of God alone! The cry of the reformers, one of the 5 solas. In Romans we see how that cry is worked out through God's people, those saved by Grace in Christ. God glorifies His Son through His people (Romans 8:30; Ephesians 5:27). By the end of the book of Romans, those who rejected the Glory of God in Romans chapters 1 to 3 are now resplendent with the fruit of love, joy, peace and righteousness in Romans chapters 13, 14 and 15. It is the work of Christ which transforms the sinner to the Glory of God! That Christ may be glorified in us! The work of Jesus in Romans chapter 3, for sin, presents a sacrifice of propitiation, expiation and justification. The work of the Lord Jesus in Romans chapter 6, His death to sin, satisfies the demands of the law so far as it's claims upon us are concerned for our death. Finally in Romans chapter 6 verse 6, the "old man was crucified with Him". All that I am in Adam has been brought to an end as a power, in respect to headship, and Lordship. I am now free to serve, free to live for Christ, free to be fruitful in service and free to Glorify God forever. Romans chapter 6 verse 6
