A bit from Piper:
“If the purpose of God – flowing from the very essence of
what it means to be God – is that he be known and enjoyed and praised as
infinitely glorious in his free and sovereign grace, then the meaning of our
existence is clear. We exist to know and enjoy and praise and display the glory
of God’s free and sovereign grace. We exist to see and savor and sing – and
spread a passion for – the glory of God’s grace.”
A bit from me:
And I would like to add if we exist for the purpose of
seeing and savoring and making much of God then it should well be easily be inferred
that we will be most satisfied when we see, savor, and make much of God. For, God as an infinitely wise creator did
not create us in a way so that we would find anything other than our most ultimate
joy in him. In fact it is hard to
imagine us finding anything other than our ultimate joy in the infinite beauty
and brilliance of God.
