(3.) To glorify God (1 Corinthians 6:20) is to "show forth his praise" by obedience to his law. Thus the "heavens declare the glory of God" in obedience to the law of creation; and much more do moral and intellectual beings glorify him by willing obedience to the moral law (1 Corinthians 10:31; John 17:4). (See GLORY OF GOD).
