Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?


Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

1 Corinthians 10:31

..."Whether, then, you eat or drink 

or whatever you do, 

do all to the glory of God."...

Romans 11:33-36

..."Oh, the depth of the riches

 both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! 

How unsearchable are His judgments 

and unfathomable His ways! 

For who has known the mind of the Lord, 

or who became His counselor?

Or who has first given to Him

 that it might be paid back to him again? 

For from Him and through Him 

and to Him are all things. 

To Him be the glory forever. Amen."

Psalms 73:25-28

..."Whom have I in heaven but You?


And besides You, 

I desire nothing on earth.

My flesh and my heart may fail,


But God is the strength of my heart 

and my portion forever.

For, behold, 

those who are far from You will perish;


You have destroyed 

all those who are unfaithful to You.

But as for me, 

the nearness of God is my good;


I have made the Lord God my refuge,


That I may tell of all Your works."
