Giving God Glory

All the things we are supposed to do, decisions we make in order to pease God, don't have their origin in us. We are dependent on God for everything. We need to rely on Jesus to do everything we are called to do. As Jesus said "Apart fom Me we can do nothing." (John 15:5). We need to believe, cooperate, and rest in Him. We come to faith because God gives us the faith to believe and lovingly draws us to Himself. Jesus is the Author of our faith. We are able to continue in the faith only due to Him, our choices enabled by the Perfector of our faith. It is not ultimately about us and what we do, even though we must make deliberate, real choices. Our subsequent God-inspired actions of living, preaching and sharing the gospel and loving people are not about us but God's glory. All who are related to Jesus by faith do the will of God, empowered and enabled by God, so that He would get maximum glory.
