Disciples Live for God's Glory

Matthew 6

The actions of those who follow Jesus are done not for their own notoriety but rather so that they might grow in their faith and please the Father. Jesus warned His disciples not to act for their own glory or seek reward from others. Rather when they seek God's glory, they will receive reward from Him. Jesus demonstrated this truth when He took on flesh, suffered and died on the cross. Through Jesus's humble obedience, the Father has been glorified, and He was rewarded for His faithfulness.

Because we have come to recognize the world's rewards as fleeting and unfulfilling, we seek to live each day in view of eternity, joyfully sacrificing what is temporary for that which is eternal.
