1 Corinthians 6:19-20
What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Cor 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are God’s.
* INTRODUCTION:
As a Christians we need to glorify God.
1Cor 6:20 For ye are bought
with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your
spirit, which are God’s.
But the question is, “How can we glorify the Lord?” Well, we can find in
the scriptures the answers.
1. WE MUST FULFILL THE WILL OF GOD
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
Wherefore
also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of [this] calling,
and fulfil all the good pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with
power:
2Thes 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified
in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus
Christ.
2. WE MUST PRAISE GOD
Psalm 86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my
heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
3. WE MUST SPEAK AND MINISTER THE ORACLES OF GOD
1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, [let
him speak] as the oracles of God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of
the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified
through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
4. WE MUST BE PRAYERFUL
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye
shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified
in the Son.
5. WE MUST WIN SOULS
John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified,
that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
6. WE MUST MAINTAIN GOOD WORKS
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so
shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify
your Father which is in heaven.
7. WE MUST GIVE SACRIFICIALLY
2 Corinthians 9:13 Whiles by the
experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your
professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for [your] liberal
distribution unto them, and unto all [men];
8. WE MUST HAVE UNITY IN THE CHURCH
Romans 15:6 That ye may with one
mind [and] one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
9. WE MUST REPROACH FOR CHRIST’S SAKE
1 Peter 4:14 If ye be reproached
for the name of Christ, happy [are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God
resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
10. WE MUST SUFFER AS A CHRISTIAN
1 Peter 4:16 Yet if [any man
suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify
God on this behalf.
CONCLUSION:
Now, we need to begin to glorify God in some areas. Let us ask God to
help us glorify Him also in some other areas. We must be busy for the rest of
our lives giving glory to God.
* God bless you all *
