Finding Purpose in Life

Most people live their lives without ever knowing Why! They exist year after year with no idea of why they live or God’s purpose for their lives. The most basic question a person can ask is:

What is the Meaning of My Life?

Everyone wants to be happy. People try many ways:

  • Some look for happiness by acquiring possessions.
  • Some look for happiness by experiencing pleasure.
  • Some look for happiness by gaining prestige and power

But real happiness comes from understanding my purpose in life.

Why Am I Here?

1. God made me so that He might love me!

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.”
Jeremiah 31:3

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will. Ephesians 1:4-5

2. We were created to have a personal relationship with God and to enjoy all of the rest of God’s creation! This makes us special!

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:27-28

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.I Timothy 6:17

[Jesus said] “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10

3. When we know and love God, and live in harmony with His purpose for our lives, it produces tremendous benefits in our life.

This is the kind of lifestyle God intends for us to live. Why then aren’t most people really happy?
