to do gloriously?
in the latter part of ver. 6, "But live according to God," oh what is
that but to live gloriously, to do gloriously?
[5.] Then, lastly, Consider this to move you to do gloriously for
God: if you do not gloriously for God, none in the world can do
gloriously for God; if you do not, none in the world will. Consider
this, you who are believers. Of all people in the world, you have the
greatest cause to do gloriously for God; for God has done more for
you than for all the world besides. You have not only the greatest
cause to do gloriously for God—but you have the choicest principles
to enable you to do gloriously for God—as knowledge, and wisdom,
and power, and faith, and zeal. And as you have the choicest
principles, so you have the sweetest experience to engage you to do
gloriously for God. How has God knocked at your doors when he has
passed by the doors of thousands! How has free grace greeted you,
when wrath has broken forth upon thousands of others! How has
God dandled you on his knee, when he has trampled others under his
feet! What is this but to engage you to do gloriously for God? If you
do not, none in the world will do gloriously. And what a sad thing it
is that God should make a world, and not a soul in the world to do
gloriously for God, that has made such a glorious world! So much by
way of motive to move you to do gloriously.
2. The second thing I am to speak of is, WHEN a man may be said
to do gloriously?
