WAYS TO GLORIFY GOD
I Corinthians
6:19-20 1Cor 6:19
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.
As a Christians we need to glorify God. 1 Cor. 6:20 says, “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.
There are different ways to glorify God:
1. WE MUST BE
SAVED
II Thessalonians
1:10 “When he
shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that
believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.”
2. WE MUST TESTIFY
THE DELIVERANCE OF GOD
Psalm 50:15 “And call upon me in the day of
trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.”
3. WE MUST FULFILL
THE WILL OF GOD
II 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: 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.”
4. 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.”
5. WE MUST BE
THANKFUL
Romans 1:21 “Because that, when they knew God,
they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”
6. WE MUST SPEAK
AND MINISTER THE ORACLES OF GOD
I 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.”
7. 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.”
8. WE MUST WIN
SOULS
John 15:8 “Herein is my Father glorified,
that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.”
9. 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.”
10. WE MUST GIVE
SACRIFICIALLY
II 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.”
11. 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.”
12. WE MUST
REPROACH FOR CHRIST’S SAKE
I 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.”
13. WE MUST SUFFER
AS A CHRISTIAN
I 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.
