All Nations Christian Fellowship

When Moses asked to see God's glory, God revealed not his face, but His character - His goodness, graciousness and compassion. Our purpose is to live out these same qualities, not for us to receive the glory but for God to be glorified. Living for His glory shapes our mindset in every moment, every action and every interaction, and grants us a life of true freedom.

In His Word, God emphasises how important His glory is - and if it's important to Him, it should be just as important to us. His glory is not a secret. Every time we live in a way that shows love, selflessness and humility, it reveals God in our lives, and the world sees it and glorifies Him. If it is something He asks us to do, He will always give us the ability to do it and glorify Him, no matter how challenging our circumstances may sometimes be. 

The very reason for our existence and we God created us, is to glorify Him in this world so that others may see and come to know Him. It becomes our purpose in everything we pursue in life. God's glory often shines most brightly in unexpected moments, especially when grace is shown to those who may be 'undeserving' or 'unworthy'. In these moments, we become the face of Jesus to others, revealing His glory as a sweet smelling aroma.

Glorifying God is the heartbeat of who we are. He can be glorified in many aspects of our lives. When we love one another, lay down our lives and serve each other as Jesus did, this brings glory to the Father. Even in conflict or disagreement, our aim should always be to glorify God through Christlike love in the way we resolve things. When it comes to our past sins, God can still use them for His glory, by transforming our future. This is ultimately God's work within us, not something we achieve on our own.

Living by the rules and laws of this world is important but our calling is to live for the glory of God. Wen we understand that He is worthy of everything, we are transformed to live genuine, authentic lives that reflect and glorify God in everything we do.
