Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?
A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever.
—Westminster Shorter Catechism
“The chief end of man is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever.”
–John Piper, God’s Passion for His Glory, 80
“Live while you live,” the epicure would say,
“And seize the pleasures of the present day.”
“Live while you live,” the faithful preacher cries,
“And give to God each moment as it flies.”
Lord, in my view, let each united be:
I live in pleasure while I live for Thee.
–Philip Doddridge
