The Westminster Confession of Faith (first published in 1646) is acclaimed as one of the greatest creeds of the Christian Church. In ‘The Shorter Catechism’ the first question pertains to the purpose of man and the reason for our being: Question 1 asks. “What is the chief end [purpose] of man?” And the answer: “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.” – Your purpose in life, the reason you were born, is to bring glory to God and enjoy a personal relationship with him, forever. This is the relationship we were born for.
