“For Edwards, true happiness for the creature is found in the Creator, namely, in delighting in the magnifying of God. Thus there is no division between God doing that which glorifies himself and seeking the good of his creation. Likewise, the chief end of humankind is to delight in knowing and pursuing the glory of God. God is most glorified by his creations’ delight in his glory.” (source)
