Glory, as seen in the Greek term *doxa* (G1391), carries profound significance in Scripture. In Matthew 6:29, Christ describes Solomon in all his splendor, using the word *doxa* to denote glory, yet notes that even Solomon's magnificence pales compared to a lily, emphasizing that earthly glory is transient and fades. This *doxa* represents a splendor or honor that can be bestowed or withdrawn by God, highlighting its dynamic nature. God is the ultimate source of this glory, and as humans, we are called to reflect His *doxa* back to Him, not hiding it but letting it shine forth as a sign of our connection to Him. This reciprocal relationship means that when we glorify God with the *doxa* we receive, He returns blessings, perpetuating a cycle of glory from earth to heaven and back again.

Inlel, also known as Satan, the devil, or Lucifer, sought to ascend above the stars of God and make himself like the Most High, but he was cast down due to his pride and rebellion. In contrast, God promises faithful Christians the crown of glory, as mentioned in I Peter 5:2-4, where the Greek word *doxa* translates to magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, and grace. This crown of glory, which does not fade away, is a reward for those who shepherd God's flock willingly and serve as examples. Through the writings of Peter and John, it is shown that believers can succeed and receive this reward, becoming like Christ when He is revealed, appearing with Him in glory as confirmed by Paul in Colossians 3:4 and Philippians 3:21, where Christ will transform our lowly bodies to conform to His glorious body.

The Greek word for glory, *doxa* (G1391), as defined in Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, refers to the nature and acts of God in self-manifestation, encompassing what He is and does in whatever way He reveals Himself, particularly in the person of Christ. Jesus consistently glorified God in all His actions, as seen in events such as the healing of the blind man, the raising of Lazarus, and the Transfiguration, all of which were done to manifest God's glory. Furthermore, *doxa* represents the manifested, visible presence of God, often displayed in dazzling magnificence, reflecting His character, attributes, and inestimable worth as revealed in creation. It encapsulates the totality of God's nature, expressing all that He is, not merely a single attribute.
