Ways We Glorify God

 

God has created us to reflect His glory (Psalm 29:2). In all that we do, whether building our relationship with God, loving our neighbours, or exercising stewardship over creation, we are called to display God-like qualities such as skill, integrity, and moral virtue. Although our actions are marred by our sinful nature, they can still reflect the excellence of our Creator. While imperfect, they significantly glorify God.

Here are some ways we can glorify God in our daily lives:

·         When our ultimate goal in life is to glorify God (John 8:50).

·         By loving God above all else (Mark 12:30).

·         By loving our neighbours—parents, spouses, children, relatives, friends, and anyone we encounter (Colossians 3:12–14).

·         Through our good deeds toward others (Matthew 5:16; 1 Corinthians 10:31).

·         In our thoughts and words (Colossians 3:2).

·         By praising God with our lips (Psalm 63:3; 86:12).

·         Through our obedience to God and His Word (Malachi 1:6–7; 2:2).

·         By praying in Jesus’ name (John 14:13).

·         By bearing the fruit of the Spirit (John 15:8).

·         By living a holy life (1 Peter 2:9).

·         Through sexual purity [and marriage] (1 Corinthians 6:18–20).

·         By giving generously (2 Corinthians 9:13).

·         Even through our suffering and in death (John 21:19).

·         By sincerely confessing our sins (Joshua 7:19).

·         Through the strengthening of our faith (Romans 4:20; 2 Peter 3:18).

·         By standing up for God’s truth (Jude 3).

·         By being zealous for His name (Revelation 2:2).

·         By remembering God even in our eating and drinking (1 Corinthians 10:31).

·         When we lead others to God (Galatians 4:19).

·         By giving God the glory for all we have accomplished (1 Corinthians 15:10).

·         Through our work (Colossians 3:23).

·         In how we spend our free time (Ephesians 5:15–16).

·         By honouring God with our health (1 Corinthians 6:19–20).

May God bless and keep us always.
