Ultimate Purpose

JUNE 17, 2024

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28

 Recommended Reading: Romans 8:29

The Westminster Shorter Catechism was written in 1646–1647 in an effort to reform the Church of England. The first question and answer are noteworthy: Q. What is the chief end of man? A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever. Today, we might say, “What is God’s purpose for man?”

The closest the Bible comes to answering that question is found in Romans 8:28-29. Verse 28 says that God causes everything in our life to work together for good for those “called according to His purpose.” And verse 29 identifies God’s purpose: “to be conformed to the image of His Son.” Therefore, God uses everything in the Christian’s life to fulfill the ultimate purpose of conforming us to the image of Christ. That truth can sustain us and see us through difficult times. Memorizing Romans 8:28-29 when life is calm is a way to prepare for troubles yet to come.

If you are in a time of trouble today, remember that God will use this time to make you more like Christ.

Cry for grace from God to see God’s purpose in every trial.
Charles Spurgeon
