How do we know that Christ's glory is the ultimate goal for believers?

In Philippians 1:20-21, Paul expresses his desire that Christ be exalted in his body, whether by life or death. This demonstrates the ultimate goal of a believer's life: to glorify God. The confidence Paul shows in desiring to uplift Christ—even in the face of potential martyrdom—indicates that believers are called to live in a manner that reflects the love, grace, and sovereignty of Christ. This glorification of Christ leads to joy not only for the individual but also for the community of believers, as their joy is connected to the exaltation of Jesus.
