Ephesians 3:20 -21
Two places God’s glory is supposed to be revealed to the world:
Philippians 2:12-16
I. God’s glory is to be revealed to the world by our transformed lives.
This is a key to understanding how we are to act in every situation.
Galatians 5:22-23
We are ambassadors of Christ.
Are you a Christ attractor or Christ repellent?
Matthew 22:36-40
We are supposed to shine in all circumstances. This is all made possible through a regenerated heart, a heart that loves God above all, even above one’s self.
This is our call from our Lord and our goal as we love God: to show His glory to the world.
This gives direction to every decision and reaction. I live for His glory.
II. The Church is supposed to reflect the glory of God.
Key Point - You cannot fulfill the second commandment until you have first fulfilled the first commandment.
In a relationally challenged world the Church is supposed to shine in the darkness.
John 13:34 -35
The Church exists to demonstrate the glory of God to the world. It is supposed to show how the world would be if God was the God of this age.
