Seeking His glory is the way

-
“The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil”
Eccl. 12:13–14
...
the Bible in many ways presents the glory of God as the chief end or purpose of human beings. He made us in His image to reflect His glory and to enter His glorious presence through Christ (Gen. 1:26–28; Heb. 12:18–29). Moreover, the Lord redeems us so that we will finally see Him face-to-face (1 John 3:3). In light of God’s purpose for us in creation, redemption, and worship, then, we should have as our ultimate aim to live our lives to the glory of God. If we want to bring ourselves in line with our Creator’s loving purpose for us, then seeking His glory is the way to do it.
Consequently we must ask this question: Since the meaning of life is the glory of God and living in such a way that we aim to know and make known that glory, how do we accomplish that goal? As the church has recognized for generations, Ecclesiastes 12:13 gives us the answer:
“Fear God and keep his commandments.”

Relationships between consciousness and co-working

God's Wisdom for every day — Suneidesis & Sunergos “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” (Proverbs 4:23) I recently discovered a fractal phenomenon between two fundamental things: a principle related to human thinking and relational processes. These are heaven - initiated merits and values decoded in the new testamental apostolic mindset. When scrutinizing human relationships and community dynamics we can see: the two are inseparable. Since they are in the same fractal: Both create unity, integration at their own different levels. Both have coherence and alignment which helps (or drives) the parts /members. (The result below came from an interesting conversation with Claude.ai.) Brief definitions Suneidesis (Greek: συνείδησις) is an ancient Greek term that means "conscience" or "consciousness of something". Synergy (Greek: συνεργία = synergía), derived from syn- (with/toge...

Identity, Integrity, Authority

(notice on Identity Integrity Authority) In the World an integrated strong personality brings good and able character who build a successful life with authority and his/her fruits are seen as the ID of this life. This is the physical approach and respect for dignity, credit before other men. Meanwhile in the Heavenly Kingdom , the New Testament dynamic suggest that our restoration starts with God Who gives you a new ID by shear grace through Jesus' blood and this grace and status builds up a strong integrity in the new self. God is a good father and after a while (Gal 4:2 when the integrity is strong enough) He gives you more and more authority (gradually) according to his will. This is the Heavenly approach order and brings a wreath /credit on the last day, before the Throne.

What are the rod and staff in Psalm 23?

by GotQuestions.org Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. ... Psalm 23 is a beautiful poem that uses the image of God as shepherd. David, who penned this psalm, had been a shepherd himself and understood the parallel between the task of a shepherd caring for his sheep and of God caring for His people. Sheep are totally dependent on the shepherd for food, water, leadership, and guidance as they move from place to place, just as we are dependent upon God for all that we need. Sheep depend on the shepherd for protection from a wide range of predators and dangers, just as we look to God as our Protector and Defender. In ...
