ship, here is Thomas Watson, from his, "A Body of Divinity" book. . . .
"Q1: WHAT IS THE CHIEF END OF MAN?
"Ans.: Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him for ever.
"Here are two ends of life specified. I. The glorifying of God. II. The enjoying of God.
"I. The glorifying of God, 1 Pet. 4:11: 'That God in all things may be glorified.' The glory of God is a silver thread which must run through all our actions. 1 Cor. 10:31: 'Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.' Everything works to some end in things natural and artificial; now, man being a rational creature, must propose some end to himself, and that should be, that he may lift up God in the world. He had better lose his life than the end of his living. The great truth is asserted, that the end of every man's living should be to glorify God. Glorifying God has respect to all the persons in the Trinity; it respects God the Father who gave us life; God the Son, who lost His life for us; and God the Holy Ghost, who produces a new life in us; we must bring glory to the whole Trinity."
