How Can I Bring Glory To God?
Contributed by Arnold Anoya on Aug 21, 2007 (message contributor)
Summary: Jesus honored God by fulfilling His purpose on earth. We honor God the same way. When anything in creation fulfills its purpose, it brings glory to the Creator.
INTRODUCTION:
Jesus honored God by fulfilling His purpose on earth. We honor God the same way. When anything in creation fulfills its purpose, it brings glory to the Creator.
I.WE BRING GOD GLORY BY WORSHIPPING HIM.
Worship is far more than praising, singing, and praying to God. Worship is a lifestyle of enjoying God. When you use your life for His glory, everything you do can become an act of worship.
II.WE BRING GOD GLORY LOVING OTHER BELIEVERS.
Following Christ is not just a matter of believing; it also indicates belonging and learning to love the family of God.
III.WE BRING GOD GLORY BECOMING LIKE CHRIST.
Spiritual maturity is becoming like Jesus in the way we think, feel and act. The more you develop Christlike character, the more you will bring glory to God.
IV.WE BRING GOD GLORY BY SERVING OTHERS WITH OUR GIFTS.
Each of us was uniquely designed by God with talents, gifts, skills, and abilities. God didn’t give you your abilities for selfish purposes.
V.WE BRING GOD GLORY BY TELLING OTHERS ABOUT HIM.
God doesn’t want His love and purposes kept a secret. Once we know the truth, He expects us to share it with others.
God does not call anyone to become a silent follower. We are called to go and preach the Good News!
Almost every time I ride a taxi in going home, I make friend with the driver and start talking about him the plans of God and the wonderful work of salvation made by His Son Jesus Christ. Most of the drivers have open hearts and I see to it that I have ministered to them and blessed them in prayer before I get out. A few of them had received Christ into their hearts.
CONCLUSION:
As we allow Christ to work out His purposes in our lives, glorifying God will become our lifestyle. Give Him the glory everyday!
