Amen.”
1 Peter 4:11 “11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Revelation 1:5-6 “5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
Revelation 5:13 “13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!””
Explanation: God deserves all glory.
Argumentation:
The question is not, “Does God deserve glory?” Of course God deserves glory. But how much glory does He deserve? Does He deserve all glory or only some? When it comes to salvation, does God deserve all the glory for our salvation or do we share in the glory? The debate is over the term “Alone.” All Christians would agree that God deserves glory. Our distinctive is that God alone deserves the glory. Why?
Salvation is entirely the work of God. Therefore He alone deserves the glory.
Revelation: 4:9-11 “9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.””
