Glorifying God in All of Life

How can one live for the glory of God? 

In this video, Dr. John Snyder explains that living for the glory of God is not just about big spiritual moments, what we do in church, or during our quiet time. Instead, it also includes the small, everyday things that we do in life. He cites Paul's words in Romans 16: "Now to Him" to emphasize this point. We don't just have a sentimental idea of what glorifying God would look like, but instead, we live our lives to glorify Him in everything we do.

Dr. Snyder also points out that glorifying God goes beyond sentimentality. It involves not just seeing God's worth and being affected in our hearts, but also obeying His commands. By following Christ and obeying what He obeyed, for the same reasons - love of God - we can display God's worth in our lives. This requires embracing the whole Christ, including His rule, and finding our delight in Him.

Ultimately, Dr. Snyder sees the ultimate goal of a person's life as displaying God as worth everything and finding our delight in Him. This means that we devote all of life to Him, obeying His commands, and reflecting His worth in everything we do, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.

Colossians 3:17 (NKJV) -  "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
