And it’s just impossible anyway
I agree, though what does it mean, exactly, to glorify God? And might we end up at square one by simply saying that I get to determine what glorifies God and thus smuggle in my own meaning?
Great question. That was the first question and answer of the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Here is the second:
Question 2: What rule hath God given to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy him?
The Word of God, which is contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, is the only rule to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy him.
In other words, God himself tells us how to glorify him.
I’ll be sure to read the WSC. Thank you!
