Last night I read this part in Pierced by the Word, and thought I would blog it.
John Piper says,
"That is why we exist -- to display the glory of God. Human life is all about God. That is the meaning of being human. It is our created nature to make much of God. It is our glory to worship the glory of God. When we fulfill this reason for being, we have substance. There is weight and significance in our existence. Knowing, enjoying, and thus displaying the glory of God is a sharing in the glory of God. Not that we become God. But something of His greatness and beauty is on us as we realize this purpose for our being -- to image-forth His excellence. This is our substance."
It reminds me of the verse 1 Corinthians 10:31, "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
When I read this, it made me want to jump up and worship our wonderful Creator!
