³¹ So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

John Macarthur when speaking on this verse said, “This verse is the bottom line on the Christian life.”  In this verse, Paul tells us the main reason we were put on this earth.  He says, “The reason we are here is to glorify God in all that we do.”  He also shows us in this passage that one of the most significant areas to apply this principle is in the area of Christian Liberty.  

He essentially says, “You want to know when it’s ok to exercise the freedoms you have and when to waive those rights?  Let this verse be the measuring rod for your life."  He says, “In all you do, you need to be constantly revisiting this verse in 1 Corinthians 10.  You need to continually be asking yourself, 'Is what I am considering doing (whatever it is) going to bring glory to God or is it going to defame Him and His name?'"
