“We Wasn’t Created To Glorify Man But To Glorify God”

Colossians 3:23-25

Glorify is defined as to praise; to magnify and honor in worship; to honor; to extol.

We all have the same calling: to glorify God in everything we do. To glorify God is not to bestow glory on God or add to His glory, but to recognize and acknowledge His glory. We glorify the Lord with our lips, obey His word, pray in Jesus’s name, produce spirit fruit, give generously and be faithful. God created Israel for his glory. The existence of Israel was planned and conceived and achieved because God wanted to get glory for his name through her. 1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us; “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” And Matthew 5:16 says; “Let your light so shine among men that they may see your good deeds and give glory to your Father in heaven.” Isaiah 43:5-7, Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, ‘Give them up! and to the south, Do not hold them back. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made. To glorify God is to reveal Him to those we encounter and throughout our society. We are primarily made for God’s glory, to be His reflection in the world. 

I come by this evening to let you know nothing can compare to God not now or ever. When we glorify God, we become the best we can be and achieve harmony in a world ruptured by sin and wickedness. Be blessed and I love you!!! JE
