Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Whole Works of the Late Reverend Thomas Boston, of Ettrick, Vol. 7: Now First Collected and Reprinted Without Abridgement; Including His Memoirs, Written by Himself Quest. What is the chief end of Man? Answ. Man´s chief end is, to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever. Explication. By man´s chief end is meant, the end which man was chiefly made for, and which he should chiefly seek to reach unto. It consists of two parts; his chief duty, and his chief happiness. Mans chief duty is to glorify God:1 Cor. x.31, "Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." Man glorifies God, by thinking, speaking, and living to his glory. And this is man´s chief, and last or farthest end. Man´s chief happiness is, to enjoy God as his God: Psalm lxxiii. 25, 26, 27, 28, "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. For lo, they that are far from thee, shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a-whoring from thee. But it is good for me to draw near to God." And this is man´s chief subordinate end. A sinner can never glorify God, until he first enjoy him as his God: Eph. ii. 12, "At that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the common-wealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world."
