Almost everyone asks the question, “What’s the purpose of life and why am I here?” Many pursue the answer but only find more confusion and disappointment. As a result, some settle for the answer that there is nothing that can be known about life; we should just live doing as much good as we can, enjoying whatever we’d like and having enough to bury us when we pass on. Others live not caring much for others putting all the emphasis on themselves even if it means that others have to lose for them to win. Still others live life not appreciating or valuing themselves based on receiving negative feedback from people they trusted or comparing themselves to others then rejecting any part of their lives that don’t look like those they “admire.” But what is the point of life? When I asked God that question, he talked to me about his desire for us, and our roles in ensuring that life on earth looks like life in the Kingdom of Heaven (Revelation 11:15). Productive because we each have a role. But also peaceful and enjoyable because of how he loves us through life. Essentially, God works through each of us through Christ to re-establish life on earth so it looks and functions like it did before Adam fell out of right relationship with God. Let’s Talk! How have you pursued answering the question on the purpose of life? Have you found an answer along with peace and fulfillment in what you learned? What life questions do you still have?
