Jonah 3:1-4:11, Hebrews 12:1-14, Luke 18:9-14

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

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

Q. 2. What rule hath God given to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy him?

A. The Word of God which is contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments is the only rule to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy him.

Prayer: Lord you are my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? You are the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me! O God of my salvation!

(Psalm 27:1, 7, 9f)

Analysis: Our purpose is to glorify God. Our roadmap can be found in the Word of God. Our salvation can only be found through His Son, Jesus Christ.
