God Is Glorified

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: according to: or, after the example of That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. - Romans 15:5-6

    God is glorified when the perfections of his nature are recognized. God is glorified when the work of his creation, providence and salvation is praised. God is glorified when the gospel of his grace in Christ is believed; his beloved Son is received, loved, worshipped, and exalted. God is glorified when his people obey his word, love one another, and "adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things."

    When our children are obedient, behave in public, and conduct themselves properly, we are pleased and feel that they have honored their parents; but when our children misbehave, we are displeased and feel that they have not honored us! So "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matt. 5:16).
