“The glory of God is the happiness of all those who love him. Nevertheless, it is the glory of God at which the Christian aims, not at his own happiness. But his happiness comes as a by-product when he is not seeking self-interest any longer.”

John Gerstner, The Rational Biblical Theology of Jonathan Edwards, Vol. 3, 12.

The glory of God is the intentional focus. It is the obsession, the goal, the central matter of life in the believer. And in pursuing the glorious God, we discover all the treasures we had longed for and had never found before. They are all found in him. The aim of God’s glory is the fulfillment of human happiness.
