A Catechism for Boys & Girls

Question 3: Why did God make you and all things?

Answer: For His glory and our joy.

SCRIPTURAL BASIS

• Isaiah 43:7

• Jeremiah 9:23-24

• Romans 11:36

• 1 Corinthians 6:20, 31

• Revelation 4:11

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

1. What is God’s glory? (God’s glory is the great beauty, power, and greatness of God’s holiness and perfections.)

2. Therefore Why is God worthy of glory? (Because God is really big, really powerful, and really beautiful in all that he says and does.)

3. Finally we ask How do we get joy from God’s glory? (We enjoy God by recognizing who he is and what he does in our lives and in the lives of others.)
