For God's Glory

Most Christians today believe the glory of God is only something to be experienced, a feeling in worship or a moment in a service. But the early Church saw it differently.

To them, the glory of God was something to be lived out, and that is exactly what the New Testament commands: "Do all to the glory of God" (1Cor 10:31).

The Greek word for glory, doxa, speaks of reputation, honor, and weight.

To glorify God is to live in such a way that others see Him as He truly is.

By His power, we become mirrors that reflect His character, His worth, and His majesty, directing all praise and credit back to Him rather than to ourselves.

Jesus lived this way.

The apostles opened their letters with it.

For centuries, believers built hospitals, fed the hungry, confronted emperors, and crossed oceans, and when asked why, the answer was always the same: for the glory of God.

Then the Church turned inward.

Faith became private, personal, and centered on what God can do for me.

The result is a self-focused Christianity that is failing on continent after continent.

➡️ But this is the truth most Christians have never been taught: when a believer lives for the glory of God in Christ Jesus, their life changes.

Their family changes.

The world around them changes.

They become world changers.

It is time to recover the conviction that changed the world.
