Catechism for Young Children · Question 4 of 145
How can you glorify God?
A.By loving him and doing what he commands.
What does this answer mean?
A child glorifies God by loving him and doing what he commands. The answer puts love first and obedience second, and keeps them together. Obeying God and loving him go hand in hand, and both honor him. A young child can practise this at home through cheerful obedience.
What can we ask our children?
- How can you glorify God?
- What is one thing God commands that you can do today?
- Can you obey God and not love him? Which does God want?
