Peter writes and asks this, Pastor John, is the statement, God is most glorified in me

when I am most satisfied in Him, a universal statement, or meant only for believers.

For those who are judged, is there a different way to say it that God is most glorified in

them through His judgment upon them?

In other words, what is the flip side of the positive side of your famous statement?

This is a crucial clarification that needs to be made, so thank you for the opportunity.

Yes, I love to say God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in God, in Him,

which naturally raises the question, do I think God is less glorified in people who don't

even believe in Him and does find no satisfaction in Him at all, which is really another way of

asking, is God less glorious because evil exists?

Is He less glorious because unbelief exists, because judgment and hell exist, and my statement

also raises the question, whether God is less glorious, if I have a low season of joy

in Him.

So let me start with that last question.

When I say God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him, I mean, in

the act of enjoying God, we make God look more glorious in that moment, in that act, then

we would, if we were bored with Him or hostile to Him.

That's what I mean.

An enjoyed treasure is an honored treasure, a neglected treasure is a dishonored treasure.

That's what I mean.

So I am talking about any given moment in the life of a believer.

God commands us to glorify Him all the time in all that we do, 1 Corinthians 1031, 620.
