The "How to" of Glorifying God - Be Imitators of God
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God." ~ 1 Corinthians 10:31
God created, chose you, bought you by Jesus' blood, and is sanctifying you (a.k.a. make you look more like Jesus by the Holy Spirit) that you may bring glory to Him. (Eph.1:4-12)
You glorify God with your whole life - Live a life of love (Eph 5:2; Romans 12:1-2) He doesn't say a day, he doesn't say an hour, he doesn't say a week or a month, but a whole life that is absorbed with the Love of God and it spills out unto others.
You glorify God with your brain(Matt 22:37; Romans 12:2). What do you think about? What is the default mode for your mind? God gave us the capabilities to think and understand our world, but to think and know Him the Almighty Infinite God! We cannot comprehend Him(understand fully) but we can apprehend Him (understand enough) through His Holy precious Word. Study it!
You glorify God with your heart (Luke 10:27) Love for God and love for neighbors! Be like a sponge that having soaked in the Love of God spills out onto others.
You glorify God with your purity - watch how the world is affecting your life (Eph. 5:3, 7; James 1:27) Do not associate with them
The Greek summetoxoi means "sharers in their sin" see 3:6
You glorify God with your money (Eph. 5:3b; Acts 2:44-45) What are you spending your dollars on? Your pocket book tells you where your heart is!
You glorify God with your tongue - watch what you say (Eph. 5:4; James 1:26)
Why 1 - Look what is the end of those who do! (v. 5-7)
Why 2 - Look who you are! (v.8-16)
You glorify God by making the most of your time (Eph. 5:16) What are you doing with your "spare time"? Are you wasting it away or spending it on things of eternal significance?
You glorify God with your hands - Sacrifice! serve the needy (James 1:27)
You glorify God by longing to know Him better (Eph 1:17-19)
You glorify God with your feet (Romans 10:15) - Get beautiful feet! Share Jesus with someone!
You glorify God with your ears (Luke 11:28) Love hearing the words of God.
Applications: What are some ways based upon this that I can glorify God specifically in my life?
