Most believers are familiar with this first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism. But allow me to read it to you afresh, with its answer attached, Question: What’s the chief end of man? Answer: Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. 

Beloved, this Scripturally-saturated, time-tested pedagogical device, very simply informs us, that we are to live our daily lives, happily, for God’s glory alone: “Soli Deo Gloria” (Note: and never for our own glory! – John 5:44; 12:43). 1 Corinthians 10:31 describes what this looks like in daily terms, “So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
