Behaving for the Glory of God
The third installment of our series focusing on how to behave godly by beholding God's immensity and creative power. God is big and we are small, God is great and we are dust. This should be a consistent activity on the part of Christians in order to effect proper humility in our lives and in return, glorify God and live lives pleasing to Him.
Introduction
Behold the Immensity of God
Behold the Intellectual Property of God
Behold the Intention of God
A verse of Scripture I often use in the face of failure with my own sins is Proverbs 24:16: “For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity.” The person who is disciplining himself toward holiness falls many times, but he doesn’t quit. After each failure he gets up and continues the struggle. Not so with the unrighteous. He stumbles in his sin and gives up. He has no power to overcome because he does not have the Spirit of God at work in him.
