In the book of Genesis, Yahweh reveals His glory in the manifold perfections of His character by disclosing His dealings with the people of His creation.
His glory is displayed in His fellowship with and blessings to Adam and Eve before the Fall in the garden (Gen 1-3).
His glory is displayed in His justice, righteousness, and wrath against sin (Gen 3:14-24; 4:11-12; 6:5-7; 7:23; 11:8-9; 19:24-25).
His glory is displayed in His mercy and compassion on a single family in the whole earth (Gen 6:8; 8:1; 9:1, 8-9).
His glory is displayed in His goodness to one man on whom He sets His covenant love and through whom He blesses all the nations of the earth (Gen 12:1-3; 15:5, 18; 17:1-8; 24:1; 26:24; 35:9-12; 50:24; Rom 4:16-17).
His glory is displayed in His free and sovereign grace in the election of a particular covenant people for Himself, to whom and through whom He magnifies His faithfulness (Deut 7:6-10).
