Thank you - yes it does. (bear repeating).

Way back when, I learned the Catechism. (The shorter version). The first question in the Catechism (which for years was taught to Sunday School children - and adults - in Protestant Churches for memorization and recitation ---- is "What is the chief end (goal/purpose) of man". In other words, why are we here on this earth? What is the purpose of the life (of each human being)?

Wonder if any reading this might recall the answer from the Catechism to that question? It is also the answer from the Bible.

(Thanks for your comments).

In addition to the standard catechism answer (I assume Westminster), please see John Piper's excellent treatment of this in Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist.
