Created for God's Glory
Commentators unanimously affirm that the ultimate purpose of a believer's existence is to bring glory to God. This isn't just a general statement; it's the reason for your creation, redemption, and preservation. As Charles Spurgeon notes, this divine purpose gives meaning to both your deliverances and your trials, as God is glorified by sustaining His children through life's fires and floods. Your life is a stage for displaying God's greatness.
