  • Why do you wish to give glory to God?

  • Because it is my purpose and He deserves it.

  • Bit of a redundant answer but I respect it nonetheless.

  • I'll try to give a better answer that is not as redundant. He is the creator of all that is. I am made to give glory to Him because he is my creator and savior and owe him that. Think of it similar to a King and his subjects. Except the subjects wouldn't be there if not for the King and the King is just and wise. The people then follow the King because he is worthy of the praise, respect, and glory. But things are not as happy as that for us. We are a fallen people and we commit treason against the King day after day. We then move outside of the kingdom into the dark and cold. The King punishes those who are unrepentant and let's them die in the darkness. But he forgives the ones that come back and ask for forgiveness. Even though we fail at being his standard of holiness, he still cloaks us in royal robes. It is also because of that he deserves glory from us. We were not made to live in the cold, but in the warmth of His kingdom. [spoiler]It is a little more complicated than that though. I did not mention that God's son Jesus is the one that shouldered the blame and punishment for our treason to make us able to wear the robes of holiness. It is also that He takes the burden for us that has him deserve even more glory and worship. He takes our fate of Eternal Damnation away to give us the gift of life, mercy, and grace. I cannot think of a better reason to deserve all the glory on the earth.[/spoiler] [spoiler]That was a little longer than expected, ngl. But I hope it gives you a clearer answer.[/spoiler]

  • It does give me a clearer answer thank you. I appreciate the details and understand your way of thinking. While I do not agree with all of it, I believe there is a lot of truth in your words. If God is as Christianity describes then I believe our people have been doomed since killing our savior.
