Written by Johannes Vos (1862-1949), a Dutch-American reformed theologist. This is an excerpt from his book “The Westminster Larger Catechism: A Commentary.”
True happiness depends on our consciously aiming to serve the purpose for which we were created, namely, to glorify God and enjoy him. Consciously to serve the purpose for which God created him is man’s glory, and apart from a conscious consecration of himself to that purpose, there can be no real, deep, and satisfying happiness. As Augustine said in his Confessions, “Thou hast created us for Thyself, O God, and our heart is restless until it finds repose in Thee.”
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. [Ephesians 2:10]
