Question 6: How can we glorify God?

Answer: We glorify God by enjoying Him, loving Him, trusting Him, and by obeying His will, commands, and law.

Kids Answer: By loving Him and by obeying His commands and law.

Key Scripture: Deuteronomy 11:1

Additional Scripture: Romans 8:19-22; Hebrews 2:8; Revelation 21:1

Pastor John Piper has said, “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” It is worth noting that truly glorifying God encompasses more than just enjoying, just trusting, just obeying, etc. In fact to really give God glory is to give Him the whole of your life, holding nothing back. Obedience with love, love without obedience, or both yet without enjoyment is not true glory. God does not seek only our obedience but also our affection and attention. True service to God is a life fully consumed by and dedicated to His glory.
