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.”
