Hi, In Colossians 1:24-27 it says, “Christ in us, the hope of glory”. Before sin and the fall of man, we shared the glory of God. He made us in His image and likeness. Jesus Christ came and willing gave up His life to restore us to that relationship, that glory. We have that now through our faith and trust in Jesus. Yet as the apostle Paul said, now we see as though looking through a darkened glass. The hope of glory is that, “when we see Him,! We will be as He is”.He is one with the father. As Jesus prayed in the garden just before His death, “ May they be one with us Father as You and I are one. His death, His sacrifice accomplished it! Just before his final breath on the cross, He proclaimed, “ it is finished “. Therefore we have that relationship with the “ Godhead “. As it says, “ we have been given everything that pertains to life and Godliness”. In other words, from “ glory to glory.”
Now, just as in the beginning, we have a choice.

Throughout the Scriptures Christians are urged to reflect God’s glory. The way we reflect God’s glory is by reflecting his qualities in all our conduct. He is glorified and not us, because we’re imitating His fine qualities (love, joy, peace, kindness, patience, mildness, faith, goodness and self-control, etc) First Corinthians 10:31 says: “ Whether you’re eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory.” Also, the apostle Paul contrast the glory Moses reflected after he received the commandment and his face emitted rays of light because he was reflecting Jehovah’s glory, having been in the presence of God, to the glory Jesus anointed apostles would reflect as they applied all of Jesus teachings in their live bringing glory not to themselves but to the One whose qualities they were reflecting. (2 Cor. 3:18 “And all of us, while we with unveiled faces reflect like mirrors the glory of Jehovah, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, exactly as it is done by Jehovah the Spirit.) Similarly, when we apply Bible principles in our lives
We too reflect God’s glory. Jesus expressed this when he said: “likewise let your light shine before men; so that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens.” (Matthew 5:16)

In summary all glory goes to God as we reflect his glorious qualities. 💐☺️

Answer 2 of 2 - In place of a cold set of writings as a guide for pleasing God, we now have Father, Son and Holy Spirit making their home with us, fellowshipping in loving intimacy, teaching us everything we must know and do (John 14:23; 16:13). That position in Christ is as permanent, eternal, and spiritual as God Himself, rather than temporary and earthly.
Paul is intent on directing Christians to focus on the spiritual glory of the New Covenant rather than physical glory of the Old, as many Jews in his day refused to do. He compared the two types of glory by recalling how Moses absorbed and reflected God’s glory for a time after being in his presence (2 Corinthians 3:7–11, 13; cf. Exodus 34:29–35). Though Moses’ glow had a spiritual cause, there was nothing spiritual about the effect—any person, regardless of his relationship with God, could see the glow on Moses’ face, which he covered with a veil.
Not so the glory of the New Covenant. That can be seen only with a believer’s spiritual eyes—what Paul is doing his best to open, so that we discern the gospel’s glory. So he writes, “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6).
But, as we move from glory to glory, there’s something even more important about the glory of the New Covenant that Christians must understand: its supernatural power to transform us. And that brings us to God’s ultimate purpose and destination for every believer, to transform us into the image of his own beloved Son (2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 8:28–30; Philippians 3:20–21).
Before he finishes with the topic of being transformed from glory to glory, Paul presents yet one more astonishing claim: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
This is the invitation the Lord makes to all Christians, to have our lives radically transformed here and now, by opening our eyes to see the glorious journey He is taking us on “from glory to glory.”
So it is about our glory!

Answer 1 of 2 - “from glory to glory” comes from 2 Corinthians 3:18
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
I found a good article on it:

With those few words—“from glory to glory”—Paul sums up our entire Christian life, from redemption and sanctification on earth, to our glorious eternal welcome into heaven. There is a great deal of content packed into those few words. It’s all so important that Paul labors at great length, from 2 Corinthians 2:14 through the end of chapter 5, to open his readers’ eyes to a great truth. Let’s see why that truth matters so much.
The same Greek word for “glory” is used twice in the phrase from glory to glory, yet each usage refers to something different. The first “glory” is that of the Old Covenant—the Law of Moses—while the second is that of the New Covenant, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Both have astonishing splendor.
The Old Covenant was given to Moses directly from God, written by God’s own finger (Exodus 31:18). That root of our Christian faith is glorious indeed; it’s the glory we’re coming “from.” Yet the New Covenant, the glory we’re going “to,” far surpasses that of the Old.
The transformation is from the glory of the Law. Like the stone it was written on, the Law was inflexible and absolute, applying to all Israelites without much regard for individual circumstances (Hebrews 10:28). Though holy, good, and righteous in itself (Romans 7:12), the Law was, for us sinners, the letter that kills us (2 Corinthians 3:6). The Law was an external force to control behavior. In addition, stone, despite its strength, is earthly and will eventually wear away. The Law was merely a temporary guardian (Galatians 3:23–25) until something better came along.
The transformation is to the glory of the New Covenant, which far surpasses the Old in every way. It forgives us of our sin and gives us sinners life (John 6:63). It is written on believers’ hearts by the Holy Spirit (Jeremiah 31:33; 2 Corinthians 3:3), so our obedience to God springs up from within us by God-given desires rather than by threats of legal punishment.
