What do you live for? The world’s answer is to live for yourself. But the Bible directs us to a higher pursuit: the honor of God. Apart from this central priority, even many Christians are left aimless and unmotivated. But as we realize who God is in all His holy majesty, we delight in our ultimate purpose of bringing glory to His name. In this audiobook, Rev. Grant Castleberry presents a God-centered vision for life. After surveying Scripture’s teaching on the honor of God, he hones in on the shame of sin and the grace of Jesus Christ in delivering us from dishonor. Finally, we see how the gospel motivates us to a fulfilling life of joyful reverence in our worship, our service, and the honor we give in our relationships with others.
