Regarding the Westminster Confession the shorter catechism:
"The chief end of man is to glorify God" There is plenty of scriptural support for this statement.
(Psalm 86:9, Isaiah 60:21, Rom. 11:36, I Cor. 6:20, 10:31, Eph 1:4-6, 12 Just to name some as there are probably more)
How do we do this?One way, We show our true character, (that is what is restored through Christ) our likeness to Him so that they may experience Him, praise Him and give Him glory. We behave like our family in God, showing good character according to the Scriptures, and proclaiming the Gospel that is the good news of Jesus Christ.
Next thought
Gen 1&2
Think about the simplicity that obedience brings. Adam & Eve had everything they needed. All they were required to do is to give glory to God and obey Him.
Through sin arose complication.
