114 Bible verses about seeing the Glory of God
Being in God's presence, enveloped by His sublime glory... it's an exquisite experience, unlike any other. Being filled by Him means knowing that a single moment in His presence is enough to be transformed, to never be the same again.
His glory changes you, restores you, heals you, sets you free, and takes you to deeper levels in your relationship with the Holy Spirit. That's why, every single day, you should yearn with all your strength, mind, and heart to be filled with His glory.
That's how you'll understand that the most important thing you have is God, and He becomes your greatest need. Encountering God's glory means knowing your sins will be exposed, every bit of hypocrisy revealed. You'll be there before Him, just as you are. But you know what? This glory won't destroy you or condemn you. Instead, it will draw out what's distorted, what's not genuine, and lead you to true repentance, to be conformed to the Father's heart and to be worthy of Christ.
Remember, this same glory will propel you forward. You won't need to strive in your own strength or promote yourself. Jesus will take you to places you can't even imagine because He's forming His character in you. He trusts you enough to reveal His mysteries to you and to position you before others.
It's by God's glory that you achieve all your goals, so that there's nothing in your heart to boast about, except knowing Jesus.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like precious stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper. It had a great and high wall. It had twelve gates and at those gates, twelve angels; and names have been written on those gates, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west. And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And the one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and its wall. And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, 12,000 stadia; its length and width and height are equal. And he measured its wall, 144 cubits, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements. And the material of the wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold, like pure glass. The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. And I saw no sanctuary in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its sanctuary. And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. And the nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. And its gates will never be closed by day, for there will be no night there; and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. And nothing defiled, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain. The first things passed away.”
