God’s Glory Is Our Goal • The highest purpose and privilege of God’s people has always been to bring glory to Him by their obedience • Deuteronomy 4:5-8 • A failure to glorify God is a part of the very essence of sin • Romans 1:21 • Jesus’ only purpose was to glorify His Father, even by His death • John 12:27, 28 • John 17:1-2 • Like Him, our highest aim must be to glorify God, whether by life or by death – remember: “glorify” means to demonstrate the character and presence of God in our lives. • Philippians 1:20, 21

  7. Doing Everything To God’s Glory • As Christians, we should do whatever we do in such a way that God is glorified • 1 Peter 4:10, 11 • 1 Corinthians 10:31 • In obedience, our goal is not self-centered, but God-centered • 2 Corinthians 9:12, 13
