I believe for a Christian to glorify God is the way we humble ourselves and let the Spirit of God transform us so that from the outside looking in onlookers glorify God for his obvious work in us.
In Revelation 1:12-20 we see the Church identified as the candlesticks ( which is literally lampstands.)
Lampstands are filled with oil, "representing the Holyspirit"
That's what we are. lampstands.
The lampstands shine there light on the one in the midst of them. The Lord Jesus Christ!
The light is not to give glory to the lampstands, it shines on Christ.
Matthew 5:16 reads "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Glorifying God is when people can look at a Christian and see that he's a follower of Christ and give God all the glory for what he's done in that person's life. He shows that God is active in his life and true to his word.

I hope this helps.
God bless.
