The Reformed Classroom Catechism Podcast Series: Why did God make you and all things? How can you glorify God?

In this episode, Lauren continues our journey through the Children’s Catechism by reviewing what we’ve already learned and introducing two new questions:

Why did God make you and all things? For His own glory.

How can you glorify God? By loving Him and doing what He commands.

We’ll talk about what it means for God to be glorified and why our lives have a purpose. God didn’t make us by accident! He created us for His glory, and we can glorify Him through the way we live, love, worship, and obey.

We’ll open our Bibles to Isaiah 43:7 and Matthew 5:16 and discover what God’s Word teaches us about our purpose and how our lives can point others toward Him.
