God is Shown to Be Glorious by the Good Deeds of Christians

Think about what that means for believers. If God is indeed made glorious or shown to be glorious by our deeds, then the way we act becomes very important. Read this excerpt from John Piper's book, "The Passion of Jesus Christ."

When God's forgiveness and acceptance have freed us from fear and pride and greed, we are filled with zeal to love others the way we have been loved. We risk our possessions and our lives because we are secure in Christ. When we love others like this, our behavior is contrary to human self-enhancement and self-preservation. Attention is thus drawn to our life-transforming Treasure and Security, namely, God.

When people see us living out the gospel in Christ in our daily lives. They are pointed to Jesus. They see that there is more. Jesus becomes our treasure, and people can always see our treasures.
