A. Man's chief and highest end is to glorify God,[1] and fully to enjoy him forever.[2]
[1] Romans 11:36. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. 1 Corinthians 10:31. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
[2] Psalm 73:24-28.
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to
glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that
I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the
strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. For, lo, they that are
far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a
whoring from thee. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put
my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. John 17:21-23.
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou
hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that
they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou
hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
问一:什么是人最重要和最高的目标?
答: 人最重要和最高的目标就是荣耀神[1],并且全然以神为乐,直到永远[2]。
【1】【罗马书11:36】因为万有都是本于祂、倚靠祂、归于祂,愿荣耀归给祂,直到永远。阿门。
【哥林多前书10:31】所以你们或吃或喝,无论作什么,都要为荣耀神而行。
【2】【诗篇73:24-28】你要以你的训言引导我,以后必接我到荣耀里。除你以外,在天上我有谁呢?除你以外,在地上我也没有所爱慕的。我的肉体和我的心肠衰残,但神是我心里的力量,又是我的福分,直到永远。远离你的,都要死亡;凡离弃你行邪淫的,你都灭绝了。但我亲近神是与我有益。我以耶和华为我的避难所,好叫我述说你一切的作为。
【约翰福音17:21-23】使他们都合而为一。正如你父在我里面,我在你里面,使他们也在我们里面,叫世人可以信你差了我来。你所赐给我的荣耀,我已赐给他们,使他们合二为一,像我们合二为一。我在他们里面,你在我里面,叫世人知道你差了我来,也知道你爱他们如同爱我一样。
