- What is the glory of God and what does it mean to glorify God? Here's a clear, biblical definition of the glory of God and the Bible verses to support it.
The glory of God is when the invisible qualities of God are made visibly or knowable for people to see or understand. You can see what the glory of God is in Exodus 33:18-19, through creation, through God's law, through humans, through Jesus, and through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
To glorify God means to reveal him. To reveal God we must live like Christ, proclaim Christ, and be gospel-saturated people. Jesus and the gospel show us the most about God. Therefore to glorify God we must show the world Jesus and the gospel most of all.

Mark loooooves God. It's so precious. He loves the word.
Been in church 30 years and I've never heard it explain so well. God is working through you!
So glad you found this useful!
Man, that was one of the best and easily understandable explanations of the Glory of God I’ve ever heard. I’m still struggling a bit figuring out how to Glorify Him in all that we do. You definitely helped with the definition of God’s Glory though. Thank you for doing what you do bro!!
You did a great job of defining the Glory of God in Christ and the sharing of the Gospel!
I have always wondered what it meant to "Glorify God". Now that I've watched this I think it's to be more Christ like "Love God, Love each other" and learn the Bible (not just read) and share the word with others. Not forcing it down their throats, but gently planting seeds. Only God can make the seeds grow.
soooo life of everything.
Seems like too much killing all through the bible.
Hey how did you figure out how to glorify god in all you do? I’ve been overwhelmed by this task ever since I saw this verse 4 months ago
This has really helped me a lot. Thank you! Was studying John's gospel 13:31 where Jesus said: "Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him."
I m ..from India 🇮🇳 ....thank you for explaining The "Glory of God "..so nicely .....May Lord give you more wisdom in His word's ......
thank you Mark for elucidating how to glorify God in our relationships and defining what the glory of God is. Excellent definition ---the invisible qualities of God made visible and knowable to us. One thing missing in your presentation is the Holy Spirit living/abiding in us. By our selves we cannot glorify God. Jesus secret of glorifying His father when he started his ministry on earth was because Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 4. 18) We can truly glorify God in our human form when we begin to surrender our will/self to God and be filled with His Spirit. John 15 in his parable of the vine, Jesus says that we cannot do anything without God. We are like empty bottles, but when filled with God 's glory/character/purposes, and with the Holy Spirit's empowering and transforming ability, we can start to reflect God's image in our lives. Jesus' breathing the Holy Spirit on his disciples before He left for heaven, was the secret of their success in their relationships and ministry.
So very true! Awesome!
Gods glory and goodness are in his Grace… it’s in his great love for the lost and broken and for their lives to be restored and brought into salvation.
Thanks again Mark and to everyone involved in the ministry of Gods will.
This is one of the best videos I've watched on this topic because of the emphasis on sharing the Gospel. Many others just say that reflecting God's image is giving the most glory and listeners tend to concentrate on living the fruits of the Spirit.. but it's not enough to be kind and patient, etc. Christ's mission on earth was to share the Gospel.. your video reminded me about that a Gospel Christian gives the highest glory to God.
After watching, this added to my perspective on glorifying God, knowing that, from before, glorifying God only means you faithfully attend to Mass on Church, go to Worship Communities, shouting His name, doing good to others, etc, but it is more than that. I think glorifying God is one of the fundamental steps on how to have constant communion with Him, which then reminds me of the first part of the Lord's Prayer which pertains to adoring and giving glorification to God. The way Bible verses are interconnected with each other and how it was delivered and explained thru this video by Mark is really a God's message to everyone. Thank you very much Mark for sharing God's message. May God bless you always!
came upon this video because of Psalm 19. thank youuuu
Thank you for sharing. No wonder nothing gives me pleasure or satisfaction.
Thanks for simplifying what the Gory of God is, and what it looks like for the believers. Awesome message.
I love that definition. It is right there with the definition of truth. Truth is reality as God sees it.
God bless!
Wow, very well explained . An eye opener of who God is
I can share, I've come face to face with it, It is absolute awe and wonder, light, fear and Bliss, love and enthusiasm, Joy unspeakable, these words don't even touch on it, It's utterly unexplainable, The only word which can do it justice is Christ and his teachings by example, along with the example of God's love for us on the cross, A love so deep that just scratching the surface would cause your human hearts to literally explode with happiness. A love so powerful a glimpse of it will make you shake uncontrollably, never ending power of the most excellent kind. Supreme pure kindness, compassion which is eternally inexhaustible .
“Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”
John 12:28-32 KJV
I've never heard God's glory explained in a more understandable way. It will enrich my future study. I'm sharing w my teen to help them get a better grasp of it as well!
Glory be to our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ!!!!!! Preach Man of God! Futher your calling. Through your videos, I feel our Lord. Keep it up! Reach as many of us as possible. I heard Heaven bells ringing everytime you speak. Amen, Amen, and Amen!!!!!
Thanks so much for the encouraging words brother!! May the Lord bless you and your ministry efforts as well!
So, I know the purpose of life is simply to glorify God. But, what does that really mean? Here, I learned that that means to make his invisible attributes manifest to others through my own life. God is holy so I must be holy. And, by me being holy I thereby make manifest his invisible attributes to others and therefore glorify God. So, what are some of those attributes? How about the fruits of the spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, patience, gentleness, and self-control. Jesus embodied these and more in his ministry on Earth. We ought to also walk in the same manner.
Amen, living like Jesus is how we glorify God :)
How honoring of the Father this is! Makes me want to go play and swim and hug, and love with the pure love we have been given.
Thank you for sharing this picture of the Creator. We all hold the seed of life. The more we exceRISE size the instructions, the more we are given. That is motivation! I ask that we would all be so encouraged as we war against the man mad world ways and embark on our individual journey's to get closer to Creator as we become united within....and then....we become united together in Christ playing and loving in our playground of organic and nature play and Love.
Thanks for the video! Praise be to the God through Jesus Christ
Thank you for that wonderful and detailed explanation about the glory of God and how to glorify Him. God bless
i really thank God for his glorifying grace in that teaching. a great reminder of my purpose for living.
Amen!
God bless you bro. It brought uncontrollable joy in me. I Really learnt a lot. And love your passion for the glory of God.
The Best révélation about the Glory of God!!
Thank you for this clear teaching, it’s hard to find good teaching on His Glory.
I’ve been searching out the meaning of God’s Glory and slowly growing in the discovery of it.
We don’t have a grid in our society for valuing and seeking Gods Glory so it is not usually on our radar. For most, God’s glory is something they have to wait to see when they pass from this earth. Or maybe they sense it in a sunset or the laughter of a child.
Be encouraged everyone, it is possible to see more of God’s Glory even while still alive on earth. We can ask to see God’s glory, just as Moses did and receive a greater portion of understanding. Jesus invites us to seek, knock and ask with diligence and the way will be opened.
Heavenly Father Thank you for your Glory that is all around us! Enlarge our capacity to see more of your Glory. It’s around us in Creation, in Christ, in your Word but our carnal eyes sometimes have scales and veils on them. Remove the blinders we’ve acquired to see more of your magnificence, splendor and love, more of the essence of You.
In Jesus name,
Amen.

I've liked all the videos I have watched on this channel! You are wise, and I can tell you know what you are talking about. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this video and for your channel. Speaking clearly without being too flashy. Rightly dividing God's word.
How are you so wise?! I never even thought about needing to define “God’s glory” in order to know how to glorify Him. This helps SO much! So when we say things like, “all glory to God”, what does that even mean?
Good question
This video has helped a lot! Thank you for your words of wisdom!
Thanks for this video very helpful in understanding to glorify God..
