Great observations from Piper's "Pierced by the Word" this morning. Scripture is replete with the truth that we exist primarily for the Glory of God and we do well to meditate on such truth from time to time. Man's chief end is to Glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
Exhibits below show why we have:
A. Redeemed Sexuality-"Flee from sexual immorality....You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body," 1 Corinthians 6:18,20
B. Eating and Drinking-"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God," 1 Corinthians 10:31
C. Answered Prayer-"Whatever you ask the Father in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son," John 14:13
D. Actual Good Deeds-"Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven," Matthew 5:16
What does this mean for how we ought to live?
