1 Corinthians 4:1

The Purpose Drive Life
We exist to glorify God.
That's why God raised up the nation of Israel; to show His glory, power, and character.
That's why God created the church.
The apostle Peter writes,
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own posse ...
