Purpose & Meaning In Life
What is your purpose in life ? Why were you created ? And what were you created to do in life ?
And what is the meaning of life ? Are you just placed here on earth randomly to live your life ?
Is there a God ? Does He really exist ? Is God real ? Can I know God in real and personal ways ?
These are the questions most people ask and contemplate at one time or other in their life.
Purpose & Meaning In Life
Jesus Christ Is The Source of Purpose & Meaning In Life, Abundant Life,…
First of all, you can know God in real and personal ways. God loves you very much, and He desires to have a restored personal relationship with you. And then God wants you to grow closer to Him, and enjoy Him in your life.
Many people attempt to reach God and find purpose & meaning by being a good religious person. Or they try philosophy, or being a good moral person. The problem is that religion and these other things will never solve our greatest problem of having a broken relationship with God because of our sins. Religion, philosophy, morality,… will also never fulfill our greatest needs (salvation, love, acceptance…), and ultimately they will never give us the purpose & meaning in life we all seek.
But there is a Way to have and enjoy a restored personal relationship with God.
Purpose & Meaning In Life
Whatever you are lacking or whatever is missing in your life, Jesus wants to give to you in overflowing measure. Jesus is “The Way, The Truth, and The Life” (John 14:6). And Jesus is the way to having a restored relationship with God, salvation, and ultimately eternal life in heaven (John 14:6, John 3:16). Jesus is The Source of purpose & meaning in life, and the abundant life that God wants to give us.
Go to Jesus with your emptiness, your needs or hurts or problems… He is The Source. He wants to give you great purpose & meaning in life, and to meet all of your needs. Jesus also wants to help you to be the very best person you can be… a person of high quality, high integrity, and a person of glory (full of His love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control), and a person of honor.
You will never have the full abundant life and purpose & meaning in life that Jesus wants you to have unless you are walking obediently with Him in an intimate and loving fellowship, because Jesus IS the abundant life.
Fulfillment, Satisfaction, Purpose & Meaning In Life:

” … I will satisfy your needs…” – Isaiah 58:11
Jesus wants to give you purpose & meaning in life by involving you in His Kingdom work and mission. He wants His followers to play an important role in His Kingdom work and mission.
