The 12 Attributes of Glorious Living

Yesterday, we illustrated what a spirit-led life looks like.  This introduced us to the concept of the beginning of a glorious lifestyle versus a carnal life.  To assist you in knowing whether you are truly living in the glory of God, I have prepared this list of attributes for you.

  1. Humble service
  2. A life of praise, worship, and prayer
  3. Obey at all costs
  4. Breaking man-made traditions (consistently)
  5. Respect the law
  6. Do not follow blind guides or false leaders
  7. Know who you are (intimately cognitive of what God says about you)
  8. Unswayed by man’s opinions
  9. Unpopularity
  10. Only speak what Father God says
  11. Exude love
  12. Generously meet the needs of others

Where did I come up with this list?  As always, I look to my mentor, role model, and Savior Jesus.

  • Jesus served - He came to serve, not to be served.
  • Jesus lived a life of praise, worship, and prayer.
  • Jesus obeyed God at all costs, even to death on the cross.
  • Jesus consistently broke man-made traditions.
  • Jesus respected the law and authority, but He did not follow blind guides or leaders who did not walk in the truth.
  • Jesus knew who He was and man’s opinion of Him did not sway Him.
  • Jesus did not have a good reputation per se and was not popular in the eyes of man.
  • Jesus only spoke what His Father told Him, and His message was not popular and it definitely was not what the leaders of His time wanted to hear.
  • Jesus generously met the needs of others.
  • Jesus exuded love and compassion.
  • Jesus’ primary aim was to bring God glory.

Notice there are 12 attributes.  With 12 being the number of government, I submit to you this is the way to govern in glory, leaders.

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. – Acts 17:28 KJV

It is only in Christ Jesus that we can even begin to manifest the 12 attributes of glorious living, and this is our inheritance as his offspring.
