"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)
In his letter to the believers in Corinth, the Apostle Paul told them that they should do everything that they do, eat, drink, or whatever, to the glory of God.
The non-believer will never really know or fully understand their purpose in life. Man was created for the purpose of fellowship with God. (1 Corinthians 5:5) Since the fall of man in the garden of Eden, the only way that we can maintain good fellowship with God now is to do that which is pleasing to Him, do things which give Him glory. (1 Peter 4:11) Everything that we do, whatever it is, should be done in such a way as to give God glory. (1 Corinthians 10:31) However, the first thing we must do is confess (Philippians 2:11) and believe. (Romans 10:9-10) As believers, because of our sinful human nature, it is difficult for us to maintain a good fellowship with God. Because we sin, we fall out of fellowship with God. We do not lose our relationship, we just mess up the fellowship. Therefore, we must continually confess our sins, ( 1 John 1:9), and we must pray and change our sinful behavior. (2 Chronicles 7:14) Then we will be able to fulfill our purpose and live our life to the glory of God.
