The Exaltation of God through the Person & Work of Christ
To exalt God is central to the existence of the church. This means to exalt, prize, and honor God above all else. Essentially, to exalt God is to worship Him, which is the priority of the ministry of the church (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 3:21; 1 Peter 4:11; Revelation 4:11). “It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution established for the glory of God.” (MacArthur, The Master’s Plan for the Church, p. 25)
