How to Honor Our Father
June 19, 2016
Passage (read it):
How can my life bring glory to God?
Not through my success. (Isaiah 64:6)
Not by my faithfulness alone. (James 2:18 & 26)
The fruitfulness of my life brings glory to God. (Matthew 13:23; Psalm 1:1-3; Colossians 1:9-12)
How do I know if the fruit of my life is bringing glory to The Father?
Not based on my health, wealth, or happiness.
Not because of my suffering and persecution alone.
The evidence that my life is bringing glory to God is joy in the midst of any circumstance.
Questions to consider:
Are you depending on your own success to earn God’s favor?
Have you given up trying and are telling yourself your faithfulness is enough?
Have you been looking for the wrong evidence of God’s pleasure with the fruit of your life?
