Purpose of Business

When I ask, what is the purpose of business? One will answer the purpose of business is to maximize long-term owners'/stockholders' value.
And if I ask, what is the purpose of man? Believers will say the purpose of man is to glory God, we are created to glorify God.

How could this two concepts come together and make sense?

The bible said God is the creator of all. He created heaven and earth and every living creatures. And so, God is our ultimate long-term owner, everything belongs to Him including business. In that sense, the purpose of business is to maximize God's value. And maximizing God's value results in glorifying Him.

The purpose of business is to glorify God.

Based on this concept, REP believes that aligning purpose of business with God's plan brings forth the kingdom of God on earth.
