What is Your Purpose?

You were born for a purpose!  God created each of us for a reason, and we are happiest when we are living in harmony with that purpose.  You need to know what it is.

Many people have no idea what life is all about.  They live and they die, searching for some kind of meaning, wondering whether their lives have purpose, whether they really matter in the grand scheme of things.  They may have put together the finest coin collection in the world, or they may have been voted "most popular" in high school, but all too soon, youthful plans and dreams evaporate into anxiety and frustration over missed opportunities, failed relationships, or numerous other "if only" and "might have been."

Many people live empty lives that have no purpose or meaning beyond the short-term satisfaction of money, sex, or popularity.  None of that means anything, especially when the shadow of death begins to approach.  But our lives could be much more, because God offers each of us considerably more than this.  He offers us true significance and worth, the joy of being what He created us to be.

But God not only desires for you to be like Jesus was 2,000 years ago, but to be like Jesus is now, resurrected, immortal, filled with glory and power!  He "…will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." (Philippians 3:21)  Paul also reminds us that, “If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection." (Romans 6:5)  And the Apostle John promises us that "…when he appears, we shall be like him.” (1 John 3:2)

Now, this is not something we can achieve on our own.  Only God can accomplish it in us.  We have to accept His invitation to get out of the dirt of this life, repent of our sins, and commit our life completely to Him.

Have you thought about accepting His invitation?  If you do, you may, or may not, see amazing results right away, but your life will definitely take on new meaning.  You’ll be given purpose and a new understanding of where you’re going and why, new strength, new courage and, “…the peace of God, which transcends all understanding...” (Philippians 4:7a)

This is the future God has planned for you, your destiny, if you embrace it fully with an obedient heart, and remain a dedicated and faithful follower of God and His teachings as revealed in the Holy Scriptures!

Will you accept the invitation?
