Is Enjoying God the Same as Glorifying God? // Ask Pastor John

A video published by Desiring God on September 28th, 2020

“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.” Does that mean enjoying God and glorifying God are the same thing? Enjoying God and glorifying God — are those different things, or the same thing? It’s a question for you today, Pastor John, joining us remotely over Skype. Here’s the question as it comes in to us from a listener named Roland: “Hello, Pastor John! I have a question about enjoying Jesus versus glorifying Jesus. It seems like enjoying Jesus Christ would look like fellowship and communion with him — a relatively private matter between Jesus and me. But glorifying Jesus Christ sounds more like observable works and words that show the watching world his worth. These two things seem to feed one another rather than being the same thing. But I’ve listened to APJ long enough to suspect you’d reach a different conclusion. But I can’t seem to piece this all together. Can you help me understand their relationship?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/is-enjoying-god-the-same-as-glorifying-god Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
