Glory: Giving God What He DeservesSample

God’s glory is eternal, and with or without your contribution, His Kingdom will grow and last for all eternity, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t responsible for anything in the meantime.

God expects you to invest everything He has given you in that Kingdom, for His glory. Jesus did. Now it’s your turn.

Service to God’s Kingdom will require much of you—humility, intentional submission, sacrifice, flexibility, availability, focus, etc.—but no matter what you have to give, it couldn’t be more than what God asked of Jesus, and you’ll have the Holy Spirit to help you. If you cooperate, He will work through you to bring others to salvation and eternal peace with God, increasing the number of siblings in your spiritual family and increasing the number of people who glorify God willingly, in loving obedience, alongside you.

All you have to do is tell others the good news of Jesus, prove that good news by letting the Holy Spirit shine through you, and illustrate it by loving others through your obedience to God. He’ll take care of the rest.

Truth? God’s perfection deserves everything you are and everything you have—it’s all a gift from Him anyway. Give it back in love through obedience, and you’ll receive infinitely more in return.
