No, as the Heidelberg Catechism reminds us, “The purpose of man is to glory God and enjoy Him forever.”

“The purpose of man is to glory God and enjoy Him forever.” How can you glorify a cruel and unjust god?

Do you ever think of your brother and sister that he condemned to eternal hell in the womb? Do you have compassion for them? They were in no pertinent way the slightest bit different from you?

How do you enjoy being with someone who could do that? Do you just block it out? Or do you tell yourself: they deserved it, I'm special?
