*What is the meaning of life according to the Bible*? Our God is purposeful, and doesn’t do anything without having a plan.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Even when you were still in the womb( Jer 1 vs 5), he already has a purpose for your life just as a manufacturer has a purpose for what he is creating. However,for a product to discover his purpose he must go back to the manufacturer.
1). The purpose of life is to know God.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
However without knowing Christ, there is no way anyone can know God, because Jesus is the way to the father.
The purpose of life is not for eating,playing,or acquisitions cars and property but to be a blessing to others.
Your life is a gift, from God which ought to be used for his pleasure (Rev 4 vs 11).
Have you discovered the purpose of God for your life?
Secondly the purpose of life is to fear God, the bible calls it the whole duty of man.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
The word Duty simply a task that has been given to you that must be done on a daily basis.
Thirdly the purpose of life is not for acquiring possession.
*Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth*.
In conclusion living for Christ will bring fulfillment and joy to our hearts.
*2 Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again*.
From the above verse anyone who doesn’t live for Christ will eventually lose his life in eternity.
Mathew 10 vs 39: ” *Whoever finds his life* *[in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], and whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake will find it [that is, life with Me for all eternity*]”.
Happy Sunday.
To get to know yourself and grow as a person. To share positivity to others trying to find themselves. And the cool part is, by being on this journey, you are constantly changing and growing so you’ll never truly know yourself. But that’s not the purpose. The goal is to be accepting and content with yourself and to others in this journey.
To be in the moment and not constantly want or hope for something bigger. (Of course having goals helps, but thats not my point) Tomorrow never comes and yesterday is gone. There’s only the here and now
