How do we Glorify God? I have numerous suggestions and ideas, but at the risk of setting the discussion off on my tangent, I would like your thoughts. Please quote scripture to back up your answers. There is one scripture that hit home hard, and it may, for me, be pivotal in answering the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Joh 17:1 After Jesus had said this, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you. Joh 17:2 For you have given him authority over all humanity so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him. Joh 17:3 And this is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent-Jesus Christ. Joh 17:4 I glorified you on earth by completing the task you gave me to do. Joh 17:5 So now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed. Joh 17:6 I have made your name known to the men you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Joh 17:7 Now they realize that everything you gave me comes from you, If in this prayer, one of the last Jesus prayed, He states that He glorified God by making God's name known, and man realizing that everything comes from God.... Can we glorify Him more than this...? Mat 28:18 Then Jesus came up and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Mat 28:19 Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Mat 28:20 teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age." And how many of us Glorify Him in this way? I know that in order to Glorify Him, we are to strive to be like Him, which a whole other discussion. But the above verses tell me that pivotal in Glorifying Him, is found in Mathew 28:18. Until the whole world hears..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
