Intro: The first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, established in 1647 and remaining the doctrinal standard for most evangelical churches, as well as Presbyterian churches, asks, “What is the chief end of man?”
The answer is, “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.”
Isaiah 60:21; Romans 11:36; 1 Corinthians 10:31
What does it mean to “live for the glory of God?”
Not just believing in God
Not just doing good things
Not just gaining God’s attention and admiration for the sake of a blessing
Story of Judas: not a betrayer from the beginning but a man who never learned the secrete to living for the glory of God.
Metaphor of the rock and clay… some are the rock and make God the clay; other let God be the rock and they become the clay!
When it comes to Unity in the body of Christ, Paul has shown us that it is a matter of love, obligation, and following our model in Jesus.
Our acceptance of one another in unity glorifies God! How so?
When Jesus demonstrated this toward us he fulfilled God’s promises to the Jews and Gentiles.
This truth for the Gentiles is seen in all of Scripture: Law (Pentateuch, Writings, Prophets).
When we accept one another in unity we continue that “showing of the truthfulness” of God’s promises.
Not that we are responsible for making them true.
Not that we can cause them to become lies.
But to turn our focus on being a part of something bigger and that our actions in everyday life reflect eternal consequences.
You are “kind of a big deal” in that your life is now a physical continuing of Christ’s life.
He is living here on earth through you and me.
This is the secrete to understanding what it means to “live to the glory of God.”
Are you living for God’s glory?
Hope that comes from seeing your beliefs become a real part of your life fills us with power for living for God’s glory.
That kind of hope only comes as the Holy Spirit renews our minds to see life through Jesus’ eyes.
And it is God who gives us joy and peace in our beliefs as we make them a part of who we are.
Then we are truly living for God’s glory!
