02 February 23, 2014, Why Give God Glory
1) God's intrinsic glory is the manifestation of the combination of all of His attributes such as holiness, justice, mercy, grace, etc. 2) We are to give God glory by magnifying and enhancing His glory before the world through our lives and testimonies. This shows His power and attributes to others. 3) We should give God glory because He created everything and deserves all praise and honor. Since He is the only God, to give glory to anything else would be foolish. All things were created to radiate His glory.
