Question 6 :: How can we glorify God?

Answer: 

We glorify God by enjoying him, loving him, trusting him, and obeying his will and law. 

Children: 

By loving, trusting and obeying God. 

Deuteronomy 11:1 

Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always. 

​

Commentary: 

We glorify God when we exalt him above any created thing in the world, when we give him the highest place in our love and in our joy, when all our affections are set upon him.  We cannot make God more glorious than he is, rather we reflect his own radiance back to him. 

Christians have God as their portion and inheritance. There is more comfort in this, that God is our God, than man can conceive. Thus we dare not place wealth, health, power or popularity above the importance of our God and his good pleasure. 

God will have us make his glory our aim, that he may bestow himself upon us.
