We are also told in 1st Corinthians 10:31 Whatever we do, whatever we drink, whatever we eat we are to do all to the glory of God.  So our lives should bring glory to God.

Of the four verses that tell us specifically what brings glory to God, one of them is the key to the others. But the first one to notice is in Mathew 5:16 where we are told to let our light to shine before men that they will see our good works, and then they will glorify our Father which is in heaven. That’s being a witness, obviously.

The second verse that is used for that is when a man is ill, Lazarus dies. The Lord told his disciples in John 11:1-14 that the sickness was unto death but for the glory of God. So there are sometimes key events in our lives that require faith and those events bring glory to God because all things work together for good to those that love God. 

We are also told in 1st Peter 4:14 that when there is a trial and when there is persecution that we can understand that God is glorified in that and we would see that our trials bring glory to God.

The last verse to mention of the four, is in John 15:8 where the Bible says Herein is my Father glorified that you bear much fruit so shall ye be my disciples. It’s just one of the four that specifically tells us how to bring glory to God, and yet I think is the key. Because then we understand that the trials in our life and the persecution in the key events and even to let our light shine brings glory to God its because it’s all for bearing fruit of being His disciple. And to bear fruit is to multiply disciples.

So the question is, is your life bringing glory to God?
