DUE GLORY

‘OKU ‘A’ANA ‘A E LANGILANGI

PSALM 29:2

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name.

SAAME 29:2

Tuku kia Sihova ‘a e kolōlia ‘o hono huafa; Hū kia Sihova ‘i he teunga tāpuhā.

 

Soli Deo Gloria – To the Glory of God Alone

Ki he Langilangi ‘o e ‘Otua Tokotaha pe   

Certainly we will be obliged to recognize and confess it, when we will remember, that everything that He has done, all that was nothing but a pure act of mercy for which we never gave Him any cause. Yes, believers, let us give Him all the glory for it. Let us never sacrifice to our own snares and our own spinning, as if it had been by our merits that we had acquired this advantage. What? Would we dare to pretend to something of God's majesty? Would we dare to flatter ourselves with this thought, that we preceded it, and that He saw something in us more than in the others which obliged Him to choose us for His heritage?

May the doctors of error and of the lie, may the partisans of nature and the enemies of grace say of it what they will: for us, believers who are instructed in a better school, admit frankly that it is He who has preceded in His mercy, who chose us of His pure good pleasure, and that it is only to Him that all of the glory is due for it.
