how can we glorify the name of jesus
Answers
Explanation:
One of the chief things God desires for us to do is to glorify Jesus Christ. How can a mere mortal glorify Jesus? In what ways do we bring glory to Christ? What possible way can Christians, still being sinners, glorify His holy name?
Chief Purpose of Man
The Westminster Shorter Catechism tells us what man’s chief purpose is for being created. We must understand that when the Bible speaks of “man" it means mankind in general and of course this includes women too. The first question in the Catechism is a very important question.
Question One: What is the chief end of man? This is asking what is the main purpose of mankind.
The answer is “to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever."
That is a little understood purpose for which God created mankind. First Peter 4:11 clearly spells this out saying,
“If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen." Peter knew Christ intimately and like few others. Peter is saying that “in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ." We glorify God in our words, in our service, and in Jesus Christ. Often times I am told about all of the great things that I have ever said, did or written. When I hear this, I am soberly reminded that of myself I am nothing and would do no good thing without the Holy Spirit in me. As Isaiah wrote, “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols" (Isaiah 42:8). The last thing I deserve is any credit or to take any glory from God for what I do.
When I take credit for something that I have benefited from, I am actually robbing God of His due glory. When we give God all glory, then we are rightly esteeming God Almighty and Jesus Christ, Who alone deserves all credit, honor, glory, and praise. We, and certainly I, deserve no such credit or glory. The more that I have grown to know God, the more that I see myself as a wretched sinner…and the more I see just how holy God is.

Glorify God by All You Do
We actually can glorify God by what we do. We can also bring shame to the name of Christ if we claim to be a believer and do not live up to our calling. Paul understood that what we do either glorifies God, glorifies ourselves or brings shame to His holy name. Paul said that “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" (1 Cor 10:31). When Paul said “whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." That means that whatever we do, whether serve, pray or give, we must keep in mind that our chief purpose is to glorify God. Since we “were bought at a price [we ought to] Therefore honor God with your bodies" (1 Cor 6:20). Our bodies can glorify God by what our bodies do. By doing what? “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." John 15:8 makes it plain that “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." When we are “Filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are to the praise of his glory“ then we glorify His name (Phil 1:11). In 2 Corinthians 9:13 it says that God can be glorified “Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with every
