Glorify God -
By Robert A. Searles
“ Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth ondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen!” Psalm 72: 18, 19.
Our primary purpose on earth is to glorify God. We are told in the scriptures that we are to glorify God at all times, but how shall we glorify him at all time? We glorify him by our praise of him and all his wondrous works. He is worthy of all adoration and praise. We are told that God inhabits the praise of his people.
“Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.” Psalm: 22:23.
We glorify God by our good works. Our good works alone will never gain us entrance into the presence of God and heaven, but once we have been justified by our faith in the finished work of the sacrifice of Christ, our good works ought to follow as a result of our gratitude and desire to glorify God.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5: 16.
