It is His. You cannot add to it, you cannot diminish from it. What you can do is proclaim it and demonstrate it. But you cannot add to God’s glory. There were certain teachers who came into the church at Galatia and said, "You must do certain things to enter into life. You must be circumcised and keep the law. You must perform certain works." Today they would say that you must be baptized a certain way, baptized in the name of Jesus, baptized for the circumcision of the heart, use the sacred name of God (Yahweh), believe this doctrine, keep that day, or worship in such and such a way in order to enter into life. But if you are going to do certain things to get life, then you are going to get the glory. If I "earn" my way into the Kingdom, if I climb myself unto a higher plateau in God, if I’m doing it through human effort, or through external means, then I’m getting the glory.
