To God Be The Glory - Cartersville church of Christ
"To God Be the Glory"
Matt. 5:13-16
Corey Barnette
Introduction I. Years ago, Fanny Crosby penned the beautiful and familiar hymn "To God Be the Glory." A. This hymn expresses that for all God has done for man, The LORD deserves to be glorified by His creation. B. To this very day, that song is utilized in worship. II. The church, while being involved in wonderful and heartwarming endeavors, must remember that all the glory belongs to God.
Discussion I. Jesus explained the need to do good, but also explained that the glory belongs to God (Matt. 5:13-16). A. This thought is further discussed in the Parable of the Vine and the Branches (John 15:1-8). B. While in flesh, Jesus sought to glorify His Father (John 14:13; 17:1-4). II. The apostles and faithful first century brethren were greatly admired at times, but wanted God to receive the glory (Acts 10:24-26; 14:8-18). III. A graphic and telling description is given of one who accepted glory from man instead of giving the glory to God (Acts 12:20-23). IV. We must also remember that the glory does not belong to us, but to God (Psm. 29:1-2; 96:7-8; 115:1). A. We are warned against thinking to highly or ourselves or others (Rom. 12:3; 1 Cor. 3:6-11). B. We should always remember Who is the Master and who are the servants (Luke 17:6-10; Col 3:24; 1 Thess. 1:9; Heb. 9:14).
Conclusion I. It is always a good idea to be reminded to whom the glory really belongs. II. Christians have a responsibility to make sure that no matter what, "To God Be the Glory."
