Following Jesus' Instructions to Glorify God Jesus brings us reliable information about who we are, why we are here, and what the humanly appropriate motives are for doing whatever we do. First, he informs us that we are by nature unceasing spiritual beings with an eternal destiny in God's great universe. We will never stop existing, and there is nothing we can do about it. While we have already fallen from God's intentions for us, he can restore us into the flow of God's life if we will only count on him for everything. That is, we must trust him, and really to trust him is to take up his cause, his "yoke" (Matthew 11:29). Then he will teach us how to make our choices with the aim of glorifying God by doing good to human beings. Under his instruction, this will prove to be the most exhilarating kind of life imaginable, with a scope and richness of personal creativity that never stops increasing.
