“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Cor. 10:31 ESV)

What does it mean to glorify God?

To glorify God means to acknowledge His greatness and give Him honor by praising and worshiping Him, because He, and He alone, deserves to be praised, honored and worshipped. To glorify God is to extol His holiness, faithfulness, mercy, grace, love, majesty, sovereignty, power, and omniscience!

Glory and dominion belong to Him forever and ever!

“Whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:11 ESV)

Let your good works bring glory to Him

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (Matt. 5:16 ESV)

Glorify God in your body

“For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” (1 Cor. 6:20 ESV)

Glorify His Name forever

“I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.” (Psalm 86:12 ESV)

“Ascribe to the Lord, O clans of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him! Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.” (1 Cor. 16:28-29 ESV)
