Subject: How can I glorify God? |
Bible Note: All those verses are wonderful. And now that I know them I will seek to apply them. But I expect to run into trouble as I do that. I may attempt to actually glorify God here by actually giving thanks or enumerating His good works, or by doing some other such good deeds. But I must expect to be lambasted for deviating from Bible study to actually try to glorify God here. Better to praise one of the great Bible scholars who quote these verses to us. But calm down, Aixen. I know this makes your blood boil. But what good will that do? They will only attack you for being touchy and for being to easily offended. Take the barbs. Agree to suffer. Do you mean that we can actually glorify God by suffering? Peter thought so. No. The Holy Spirit told him to tell us we could. Listen, man. Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rest upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. |
