"Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name; Worship the Lord in the majesty of holiness"
These words from Psalm 29 capture so well the demand that God's glory places on true followers of His...holiness. Living in the heavenlies is holy living. Life consummed with God's glory is wholly caught up with pleasing and obeying and honoring God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's book "The Cost of Discipleship", which I am being deeply challenged by at the moment resoundingly seconds this. Consider some of his thoughts...
"The only man who has the right to say that he is justfied by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ"
"Costly grace is the treasure hidden in the field; for the sake of it a man will gladly go and sell all that he has. It is the pearl of great price to buy which the merchant will sell all his goods. It is the kingly rule of Christ, for whose sake a man will pluck out the eye which causes him to stumble, it is the call of Jesus at which the disciple leaves his nets and follows Him"
