The Bible teaches that man was created to live for the praise of God's glory, not for earthly wealth or pleasures.
The purpose of man's creation is deeply rooted in Scripture. As stated in Psalm 89:47, God did not create man in vain. This emphasizes that every human being has an intentional purpose ordained by God. This purpose is not found in accumulating wealth or pursuing worldly power, as seen through various scriptural passages and examples from history. Instead, we are called to live to the praise of the glory of God's grace, as expressed in Ephesians 1:6, which tells us we are made accepted in the Beloved.
