"To glorify God means to make His name famous. His honor and His reputation become more important than our own. It is equivalent to the following well-known purpose statements":
Deuteronomy 6:4 4 "Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!
Matthew 22:39 39 "The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
Leviticus 19:2 2 "Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, 'You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.
Galatians 5:6 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
Matthew 28:19 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
So, therefore, my brethren, go glorify God.
