Glorify God

snowed in this sunday so we decided to worship at home. sermon came from the first question of the westminster shorter catechism.

what is the chief end of man? man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.

“chief end” refers to our main purpose in life… “to glorify” does not mean to make God more glorious, because God already is glorious… it means that we are to reflect the glory of God… we will reflect the glory of God in both our obedience and disobedience. in our obedience, the mercy of God is revealed… in our disobedience, the wrath and justice of God is revealed…

“to enjoy Him forever” means that every aspect of our life is an enjoyment of being in Him. we cannot escape the all encompassing love and presence of God. He is there. He is here. enjoy Him.

1 Corinthians 10:31…
