We often don't speak our thoughts aloud ...and often that is a good thing. Yet, it may be beneficial to at least silently question ourselves.
Perhaps we should assess our beliefs, and question to what degree we really bring glory to God. I often feel I do not, yet I also know my behavior is not what glorifies God.
I believe to glorify God, is to correctly and accurately describe who God is. I would not want you to believe I am a representative of who God is ...in the sense that we look at members of Congress as representatives of the precise views of anyone.
But, God is not just anyone. I believe the Bible, Jesus, and many of the writings of the apostles represent who He is.
So, instead of thinking we are representatives, let's instead say we are to 'present' to others the truth of who God is ...an impossible task without using what God, Himself, chose to use to describe or reveal to us ...His Word, and His own Son.
