The Glory of God

The glory of God is a constant theme throughout the Bible. It is also mentioned frequently throughout church history. The Westminister Shorter Catechism describes the purpose of our existence this way: "Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever." In John 16:14, the Holy Spirit's purpose includes glorifying Jesus. Today, many songs include phrases like, "Show us your glory!" But what exactly is the glory of God?
