1 Corinthians 6:20 “For you were bought at a price; Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
Throughout life, we will have a variety of decisions to make and there will be some that are easy as the Bible says you shall or you shall not. Then there are some that will be challenging as there does not seem to be a clear-cut “do” or “do not do.” I was fortunate to have been discipled to have a filter for making decisions. At the top of the filter was the question does it glorify God?
1 Corinthians 6:20, and later 1 Corinthians 10:31 (Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God) makes it clear that all of our actions – behavior – conduct – attitude – words – should glorify God! We have been called – listen – into His kingdom and GLORY (I Thessalonian 2:12) thus we are to “walk worthy of God.” Our ambition should be to please Him. We are to honor Him. We are to obey Him. We glorify God when we live like Him.
1 Corinthians 6:20 reminds us that we have been purchased, bought at a price, a very high price. As one who has been purchased by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, we must commit and dedicate our entire lives doing only what glorifies Him! Thus, every decision is to be filtered with will this bring glory to God!!!
There are 5 major areas that we are to steward and be found faithful. These are areas to GLORIFY GOD. They are:
1. Our temple
2. Our time
3. Our treasure
4. Our talents
5. Our testimony
Ponder – evaluate – examine yourself with the question of am I truly glorifying God with what I am doing with my temple? My time? My treasure? My talents? My testimony?
Continue Strong Doing Everything to His Glory,
And remember to DATE the Word
