Glorifying God …1 Corinthians 8:4-6

For us, there is but one God and one Lord Jesus Christ in whom all things come and in whom we live.

For us, there is one creator; one recipient of our life.

Glorifying God …Isaiah 26:8

renown => defined as exalted reputation ... the state of being widely known for great achievements or merits, fame

God has gained glory for Himself through His actions in our world and through the story of His people.

Glorifying God …Romans 11:36

All things are from Him, through Him and to Him, to God be the glory forever. Amen.

Glorifying God …Colossians 1:16

by Him, for Him … Jesus is before all things and in Jesus all things

hold together.

From Him, Through Him, To Him, By Him, For Him, In Him … (It is about Him!)

Glorifying God …

Moses verses Pharaoh David verses GoliathJoshua versus Jericho

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego versus the furnace

Daniel versus the lions den

Glorifying God …

All of these acted upon the exalted reputation of God. God’s renown meant more to them than their own life. They placed themselves on the line for God’s exalted reputation and God received the glory.

Our problem with God’s gloryGenesis 11:4 – a name for ourselves

“J.J.”“Jesus Juva” which means “Jesus help me.”

“S.D.G.”“Soli Dei gratia” which means “to God alone the

praise.”

For the Glory of God …In the morning when we wake

up …“Jesus Juva” which means “Jesus help me.”

In the evening when we go to bed …

“Soli Dei gratia” which means “to God alone the praise.”

To God be the glory for all He has done, is

doing, and is yet to do!
