We know God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. But is God at all glorified in those who reject him? Jenred asks, “Pastor John, if God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in him, why does he use that nearly constant refrain, ‘so that they may know that I am the Lord,’ in reference to things that would not bring about the satisfaction of anyone, and were certainly not done for that specific purpose? There are many times when God seems, to me, perfectly content with people seeing his glory and realizing that he is God, even though that realization is in terror and judgment. How do you make sense of this?” Episode 1215: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/is-god-glorified-in-those-who-reject-him Related Resources: “Does God Predestine People to Hell?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Ry0yEhhOw “Why Hell Exists” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x24DO5vG0Rs “The Bible Often Mentions God’s Wrath — Why Does It Matter?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doet1NdZFpw ”Doesn’t the Cross Display God’s Wrath Better Than Hell?“ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l7cFEKWxLI Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes, http://desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
