GOD-GLORY-REVEALED
In
our redemption by Christ we have the fullest, clearest, and most delightful
manifestation of the glory of God that ever was or shall be in this life. All
the declarations and manifestations that we have of His glory in the works of
creation and common providence, are but dim and obscure in comparison with what
is here. Indeed the glory of His wisdom, power, and goodness, is clearly
manifested in the works of creation. But the glory of His mercy and love had
lain under an eternal eclipse without a Redeemer.

Catechism.
Again,
the glory of one attribute is more seen in one work than in another: in some
things there is more of His goodness, in other things more of His wisdom is
seen, and in others more of His power. But in the work of redemption all His
perfections and excellencies shine forth in their
greatest glory.

The design of
the universe...is very magnificent and shouldn’t be taken for granted. In fact,
I believe that is why Einstein had so little use for organized religion... He
must have looked at what the preachers said about God and felt that they were
blaspheming. He had seen much more majesty then they had ever imagined, and
they were just not talking about the real thing. My guess is that he simply
felt that religions he’d run across did not have proper respect...for the
author of the universe.
