Galatians 1:5

To whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

The paramount function of all created things is to glorify God. It is true of the material universe. "The heavens declare the glory of God" (Psalms 19:1). It is true of the angels; for when they appeared at the birth of Christ, their song was "Glory to God in the highest" (Luke 2:14). It is even true of all the lower forms of life.

And every creature which is in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing and honor and glory and power be to him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever (Revelation 5:13).

EVERYWHERE

Where myriad waterfowl with thunderous wings Ascend to climb dawn's flaming stair, The oratorio of all created things Is heard upon the morning air. Where velvet footsteps march beneath the shade Of mammoth trees and move along The resinous forest's colonnade, God hears the thrilling Glory Song. Where countless life-forms teem the ocean floor, Is sung God's glory in the sea, A mighty chorus shore to shore To justify their right to be. Where Pleiades and Morning Star adorn The arch of heaven, even there, From Creation's birthday morn, God's glory sings, and EVERYWHERE!

- James Burton Coffman, 1962

Since the very purpose of man's existence is to glorify God, it follows that when man circumvents or countermands this purpose, he forfeits his right to live. Man cannot rise in his own strength alone, but must place his hand in the hand of his Creator, and like Enoch of old, learn to walk with God. How profound is the thought that man at last may attain eternal fellowship with the Father. What joys unspeakable are implied in this!

Amen... As Cole observed:

Amen, like Hosanna, Hallelujah, Maranatha and Abba, is one of the "fossilized survivals" of Hebrew and Aramaic language of worship, transmitted through the New Testament Greek-speaking church to the later Latin-speaking church, and ultimately to most languages of earth[16]
