Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy Name!(Psalm 103:1)
We know from the Westminster Confession of our Faith that the  “Chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever”. This definition of one of our primary charges as Christians comes out of these two following verses: 1 Corinthians 10:31.Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for God’s glory. Romans 11:36. For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. 

The Puritans were some of the greatest Christian thinkers who ever lived and their writings and exhortations set a standard for understanding the Bible which few in the public arena attain to, in these final days. One of them was Thomas Watson who wrote about what “glorifying God” really means.

ALL WE NEED IS LOVE!

We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. (Romans 15:1 ESV)

This week, I begin a verse by verse look at a wonderful chapter of Scripture which will accomplish two things:
– Bring Hope to Others
– Bring Strength to Us.

Many of us live by the Westminster Confession of Faith which says “the Chief End of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever“. I can launch into 15 sermons on that alone because it is so rich, it will cause your spiritual heart to explode with joy unspeakable at our God Incredible! Amen!

This leads me to the Greatest Commandment, according to the Lord Jesus, which is “Love the Lord Your God with all your heart, and all your soul and all your might”! Moving on, Romans 15, for the most part, is similar to a farewell love letter from the Apostle Paul, who is exhorting us to be like Christ. We are called here to be the Example of Christ…to love like Christ, Who said that the Second Greatest Commandment was to “love your neighbor as yourself”.
