What Is the Glory of God? What Does It Mean to Glorify God?

What is the glory of God and what does it mean to glorify God? Here's a clear, biblical definition of the glory of God and the Bible verses to support it.
The glory of God is when the invisible qualities of God are made visibly or knowable for people to see or understand. You can see what the glory of God is in Exodus 33:18-19, through creation, through God's law, through humans, through Jesus, and through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
To glorify God means to reveal him. To reveal God we must live like Christ, proclaim Christ, and be gospel-saturated people. Jesus and the gospel show us the most about God. Therefore to glorify God we must show the world Jesus and the gospel most of all.

Man, that was one of the best and easily understandable explanations of the Glory of God I’ve ever heard. I’m still struggling a bit figuring out how to Glorify Him in all that we do. You definitely helped with the definition of God’s Glory though. Thank you for doing what you do bro!!

So, I know the purpose of life is simply to glorify God. But, what does that really mean? Here, I learned that that means to make his invisible attributes manifest to others through my own life. God is holy so I must be holy. And, by me being holy I thereby make manifest his invisible attributes to others and therefore glorify God. So, what are some of those attributes? How about the fruits of the spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, patience, gentleness, and self-control. Jesus embodied these and more in his ministry on Earth. We ought to also walk in the same manner.

Mark loooooves God. It's so precious. He loves the word.

Been in church 30 years and I've never heard it explain so well. God is working through you!

[@kimberlysteph3877]

I can share, I've come face to face with it, It is absolute awe and wonder, light, fear and Bliss, love and enthusiasm, Joy unspeakable, these words don't even touch on it, It's utterly unexplainable, The only word which can do it justice is Christ and his teachings by example, along with the example of God's love for us on the cross, A love so deep that just scratching the surface would cause your human hearts to literally explode with happiness. A love so powerful a glimpse of it will make you shake uncontrollably, never ending power of the most excellent kind. Supreme pure kindness, compassion which is eternally inexhaustible .

After watching, this added to my perspective on glorifying God, knowing that, from before, glorifying God only means you faithfully attend to Mass on Church, go to Worship Communities, shouting His name, doing good to others, etc, but it is more than that. I think glorifying God is one of the fundamental steps on how to have constant communion with Him, which then reminds me of the first part of the Lord's Prayer which pertains to adoring and giving glorification to God. The way Bible verses are interconnected with each other and how it was delivered and explained thru this video by Mark is really a God's message to everyone. Thank you very much Mark for sharing God's message. May God bless you always!

That was heavy, brother. Made me get the warm and fuzzies. Keep doing what you do; it's helping me develop my relationship with God.

Thanks again Mark and to everyone involved in the ministry of Gods will.

Gods glory and goodness are in his Grace… it’s in his great love for the lost and broken and for their lives to be restored and brought into salvation.

[@joycelawrence4104]

Thanks for simplifying what the Gory of God is, and what it looks like for the believers. Awesome message.

[@songsomg7627]

[@diannahelgeemaesampilo9984]

came upon this video because of Psalm 19. thank youuuu

[@radiolmd6677]

This is one of the best videos I've watched on this topic because of the emphasis on sharing the Gospel. Many others just say that reflecting God's image is giving the most glory and listeners tend to concentrate on living the fruits of the Spirit.. but it's not enough to be kind and patient, etc. Christ's mission on earth was to share the Gospel.. your video reminded me about that a Gospel Christian gives the highest glory to God.
