Why Do I Exist? How Your Purpose and God’s Glory Are Intertwined // Passionate Part 1

First Corinthians 10:31 says, “So whether you eat or drink or
whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” But what is the
glory of God? And how is your purpose and God’s glory tied
together? Discover the connection and live with more
passion. 


What Is the Glory of God?


God’s glory is the essence of His character, the radiance of His
splendor, and the expression of His goodness and intrinsic
qualities. It is a physical manifestation of His holiness. 


C.S. Lewis said, “In commanding us to glorify Him, God is
inviting us to enjoy Him.” God lovingly asks you to glorify Him
so you discover deeper peace, purpose, and passion in life.


See Isaiah 43:7, 2 Corinthians 5:15, Psalm 19:1, Isaiah 6:3,
Hebrews 1:3a


What Is Your Purpose?


God created you for a purpose. You didn’t create yourself and
cannot define your purpose. To discover that purpose, you must be
in relationship with Him. Think of it this way: You have a tool
but don’t know its purpose. What is the best way to find out?
Consult the manufacturer. God’s Word is clear that you are made
in His image. As your Creator, He designed you to reveal His
glorious character to others. This is your purpose. 


Your purpose is different from your calling. Your calling is how
you live out the purpose of glorifying God daily. God is most
glorified when you are most passionate about Him. 


See Psalm 138:8, Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, Psalm 57:2
