In the Old Testament, the word ‘Glory’ in Hebrew is ‘Kabod’ meaning’ to be heavy’ which also means to be wealthy, honoured, glorified, reward, divine health, healing, etc. Besides, the ultimate purpose of God was to create man in His image and likeness who would be the glory of Christ Jesus. So, what is this glory? God wanted something to be like Him and hence created man on the face of the earth and called him to be His glory.
Hebrews 2:7–8 says, “You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honour and put everything under his feet.” In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him…” [This verse describes the amazing glory of the first Adam. This was the position of first Adam before the fall.]
The Word of Almighty describes that everything was brought under subjection of the first Adam. The power displayed in him was simply mind-blowing as he walked in the glory of God. In order to understand what I am emphasizing here, let’s compare 1 Corinthians 11:7 with Genesis1:26.
Genesis 1:26 says, “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness..” and Paul is quoting the same word in 1Corinthians 11:7, “A man ought not to cover his head since he is the image and glory of God…” from the Old Testament and gives us a comparison of two verses but instead of ‘likeness’ he used the word ‘glory’. So, what is glory? It is ‘likeness’ and so we are His glory!
