Simple explanation of what the Glory of God means - making God look good
When we say we work for the glory of God, what does that mean?
Who are we making look good? In your picture who looks good? Is it God? or myself? or my church? or my ministry?
I remember when I was in college many people talking about bringing glory to God. We should find our ideal in life ... which is Jesus, and the journey to that ideal, we can become a doctor, a business man, a lawyer, for the glory of God. I hear people say we mustn't obstruct the glory of God... So we as Christians should succeed in life, we should win, become great people, make alot of money, become doctors, lawyers, be successful so that the glory of God in me is not veiled. But who looks good in that picture? is it me? is it the church? or is it God?
Our job is to make God look good.
