It’s All About God God created the heavens and the earth and it was all ‘very good’.

It’s All About God Peak of creation was man! Everything was in perfect harmony reflecting the God of Glory

It’s All About God Then man sinned and the whole creation was suddenly out of sync

It’s All About God … and not about man!

God of Glory

God lives for His own glory God is passionate about His glory

God of Glory Gen 20: 3 "You shall have no other gods before me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol…. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; 20:3 除了我以外、你不可有別的神。 20:4 不 可為自己雕刻偶像、 … 20:5 不可跪拜那些像、 也不可事奉他

God of Glory Gen 20:5b for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God 因為我耶和華你的神是忌邪神

Man’s Purpose What is man’s calling? Is 43: 7 “everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." 凡稱為我名下的人、是我為自己的榮耀創造的、 是我所作成、所造作的

Man’s Purpose Mt 6:9f ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 我們在天上的父、願人都尊你的名 為聖。 10 願你的國降臨。願你的旨 意行在地上、如同行在天上。

Man’s Purpose 17C Westminster Catechism What is the chief end of man? The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.

Man’s Purpose Paradigm Shift is needed! Creation: A 3 dimensional display of God’s glory Worship: Giving glory to whom glory is due Prayer: Calling upon God to reveal His glory

Man’s Purpose Everything we think, feel and do should reflect His glory! Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 因 為世人都犯了罪、虧缺了 神的榮 耀

Living for God’s Glory 2 Cor 5:14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

Living for God’s Glory 2 Cor 5:16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Living for God’s Glory 2 Cor 5:18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

Living for God’s Glory 2 Cor 5: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

Living for God’s Glory 2 Cor 5:20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
