Glorifying God

Glorifying God is the primary purpose of everything.
I represent His glory now here on earth - God dwelling in me (Phil. 2).

What does it mean to glorify God with my life?
Confessing Jesus as Lord.
- embracing, honoring, accepting His truth
- to reject Christ is to refuse to glorify God - the preaching of Christ is for the glory of God (Rom. 1:5 & 3 John 7)
Aiming your life @ that purpose (to glorify God).
- this should be why you live
1. prefer Him and His Kingdom above all else
2. be content to do His will no matter what the cost
3. you suffer when He suffers - when God's Word and God's Truth is dishonored
4. you're content to be outdone - be bold to preach Christ

2 Corinthians 4:7-15
You must give up your life for the people, the grace, and the glory of God.
