Is your life centered on Christ?

Student Handout

1.) What Does Giving Glory Look Like?

Reflect:

• What do your current actions look like?

• Do your actions represent Christ well?

• What did Jesus say about how we act?

Scripture: Matthew 5:13–16

• Salt of the earth: preserves, enhances, influences.

• Light of the world: shine so others may see your good deeds and glorify God.

Living Set Apart

• Daily surrender: choosing to live for Christ, not yourself.

• Being different from the world:

  • The world: selfish, rude, prideful.

  • Jesus: kind, humble, gentle, patient.

• Your actions reveal who is on the throne of your heart.

Matthew 7:15–20 – “By their fruit you will recognize them.”

Challenge: Will you choose daily to glorify Him through your actions?

2.) What Does Giving Glory Feel Like?

Matthew 16:24 – “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”

• Glorifying God can feel uncomfortable—it means living differently from the world.

• It removes pride and ego, reminding us that Jesus gave His life for us.

• Giving glory feels:

  • Peaceful

  • Light

  • Restful (Matthew 11:28–29)

Reflection: Even when no one is watching, God is. He sees your heart, your intentions, and your posture.

Prayer: “Less of me, God, more of You.”

3.) What Does Giving Glory to God Sound Like?

• Praise & Worship – singing, declaring His greatness.

  • Matthew 15:31

• Thanksgiving – giving thanks in all things.

  • 1 Timothy 4:4

• Testimony – sharing what God has done in your life.

  • Matthew 24:14

• Prayer – inviting God in through communication.

  • Matthew 21:22

Final Reflection

We glorify God through our actions, feelings, and speech.

Galatians 5:22-25 – “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”

Living by the Spirit = Living for God = Giving Him Glory.

Reflect on these characteristics and see where in your life you produce good fruit and bad fruit!
