The End of Creation

“What is the chief end of man? The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.“ (WSC 1)

What is the chief end of creation? Jonathan Edwards wrote:

The end of the creation is that the creation might glorify God. Now what is glorifying God, but a rejoicing at that glory he has displayed? (quoted from John Piper’s “The Dangerous Duty of Delight” p. 13

It is a beautiful sunny day after a fresh snow - let us rejoice at the display of God’s glory.
