GLORIOUS! focuses on becoming a child of God, growing in fellowship and understanding of our Lord, and Jesus stories about growth. It begins with who we are. Who God and His children are. And, fellowship between them that never ends. It considers God's help, nurture and guidance of us as we grow to become His children. It follows God's growth plan for His children from His first garden to His last and eternal garden. Jesus compared the growth of goodness in men to the growth of plants in His parables. He taught of seeds growing in soils with water, and light. He describes the Word of God growing in goodness in our hearts. Like rain, the Holy Spirit washes1 and purifies2 us. And, like the brightness3 of the sun4 the knowledge and righteousness of God's glory5 arises and shines on us.6 Goodness is produced like fruit on trees, vines and branches of vineyards and fields in Jesus' parables, stories and miracles. The children of God fellowship together and with Him7 as He helps them to grow in blessing,8 faith, grace, knowledge, understanding, holiness, righteousness9 and fruitfulness10. He watches over11 His children. Jesus, the Son and Word of God, became flesh and lived among us12. When our hearts become flesh He lives in us.13 Jesus became flesh so that our hearts could become flesh, by being reborn,14 and growing in fellowship of love and righteousness, as children of God15.Children of God grow fruit (of His Spirit) from seed (the Word of God), in the good soil of their honest and good hearts16. Perfect love grows in them, just as He is perfect.17 God nourishes them with living water18 and glorious light19 for fellowship, growth and fruitfulness. Inexpressible and glorious joy20 grows filling God's children. The peace given them by God surpasses all understanding, and guards their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.21 This is the end result of their faith, the salvation of their souls.22 His children become one with Him, and His Son 23, and they will be like Him when He is revealed.24
