Today's Comments: The Bible Reader's Companion tells us that we glorify God by doing things that bring Him praise. For example, living a good life glorifies him, because to do so, we need to have an intimate relationship with Jesus. By having that intimate relationship, we are able receive God's grace to do the Father's will. We are able to bear much spiritual fruit.
The fruit which the Bible talks about is shown in both the love that we have for God and the love that we have for each other. As we mature in our relationship with Christ, we are able to love God more, as well as our fellow man; and we learn to become the disciples that Christ wants us to be.
