Man’s Chief End

In 1647 the Westminster Assembly published its Shorter Catechism, a collection of 107 questions and answers to be used in instructing children in the basics of the Christian faith.  The very first question reads:  “What is the chief end of man?”

That is a very important question.  How would you answer it?  The Catechism says:  “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

That answer agrees with what we read throughout scripture:  “Whether ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”

We would do well to begin every day with a prayer in our heart that says, “Father, help me in all that I think, say or do today to fulfill the main purpose for my existence and bring glory to You.”
