1. For His glory.

they shall shew forth my praise.

16 For by him were all things created,
that are in heaven,
and that are in earth,
visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones,

or principalities,
or powers:
all things were created by him,
and for him:
5. To pray to Him.
Jeremiah 29:11-12
King James Version
11 For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
saith the Lord,

to give you an expected end.

and ye shall go and pray unto me,
and I will hearken unto you.
6. To be His people.

27 For he hath put all things under his feet.
But when he saith all things are put under him,
it is manifest that he is excepted,
which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him,
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him
that put all things under him,
that God may be all
in all.
8. To be sheep of His pasture.
Psalm 100:3

it is he that hath made us,
and not we ourselves;
we are his people,
and the sheep of his pasture.
9. To seek Him.

if haply they might feel after him,
and find him,
though he be not far
from every one of us:

King James Version
37 Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first
and great commandment.
As you can see, we're here to serve GOD.
Not the other way around.
