Our good friend Pastor Robb preached on God’s Glory earlier today and now I’m bringing you a Part Two from Louie Giglio.

At church today, we had a guest preacher who said something that Louie Giglio would take issue with. It sounds small, but it’s actually a massive shift in perspective.

The guest preacher stated: “Everything God does he does for you and with you in mind.”

Louie Giglio responded with a polite and humble correction: “Everything God does is for the Glory of God, and you just happen to also get the benefit along the way.”

To understand where Louie gets this perspective, here are key verses from Scripture:
Genesis 1:1, Psalm 90:2, Psalm 19:1, Psalm 148:1-13, Genesis 1:26, Acts 7:2-3, Psalm 106:7-8, Exodus 33:22, Isaiah 42:8, Exodus 20:3, Isaiah 43:7, Habakkuk 2:14, Isaiah 48:9-11, Luke 2:14, 2 Corinthians 4:6, Mark 2:12, 2 Peter 1:16-18, John 12:27-28, Philippians 2:9-11, Revelation 4:11, Romans 3:23, Romans 1:18-23, Psalm 106:20, Colossians 1:27, Ephesians 1:3-14, 1 Timothy 1:15-17, Galatians 1:3-5, Luke 17:18, Psalm 63:3, 2 Corinthians 4:7-15, 1 Corinthians 10:31, Colossians 3:17, Matthew 5:16, Isaiah 26:8, John 21:19, Philippians 4:19, Colossians 3:4, 1 Peter 5:10, Ephesians 3:20-21, Revelation 21:22-23, Philippians 4:20, Romans 16:27, Romans 11:36, Jude 1:24-25

This sermon’s central message is simple but sweeping:
Everything exists for the glory of God—including you.

The speaker argues that this truth is the unifying theme running from the first page of Scripture to the last. Most Christians have unintentionally adopted a worldview that makes life primarily about themselves rather than about God.

Modern culture teaches that the purpose of human life is not primarily happiness, success, fulfillment, or even salvation itself—it is the glory of God. Those blessings are real but are benefits of God’s greater purpose rather than the ultimate goal.

A large portion of the sermon explains the biblical meaning of glory: God’s glory refers to His unmatched worth and infinite value. God alone possesses intrinsic worth that no created thing can rival.

According to the sermon, the greatest deception Christians face isn’t outright unbelief—it is making God into someone who exists primarily to serve us.

The speaker insists all these concepts contain truth but become distorted when they place the individual instead of God at the center.

One of the strongest sections argues that Jesus did not go to the cross merely to demonstrate how valuable humans are. The cross displays a God unlike any false god because He gives Himself for His people rather than demanding they earn His favor.

The sermon anticipates an objection: “Isn’t it arrogant for God to make everything about Himself?”

If God truly is the highest good in existence, then pointing people toward Himself is actually the most loving thing He can do.

The illustration used is that of an emergency-room doctor who pushes through a crowd to save a dying victim. Nobody calls the doctor arrogant because the doctor is uniquely qualified to save the person’s life.

Likewise, God points people to Himself because there is nothing better He could give them.

This perspective shift is described as “an absolute life-changer” when you start to really understand it and let it sink in. Your entire perspective will shift.
