Purpose Of Life?

[onemorehope]

Your question about understanding the purpose of life is a profound one, and many find guidance in the Bible. Here are a few verses that might help:

1. **Ecclesiastes 12:13** - "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind."

2. **Ephesians 2:10** - "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

3. **Colossians 3:23-24** - "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

4. **Psalm 90:12** - "So teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

These verses emphasize living in accordance with God's will, doing good works, and serving with purpose. Praying for understanding and seeking guidance from spiritual leaders or mentors can also be beneficial.

 

The purpose of life is to serve God believing in him with all your heart all your soul and all your mind and you will be saved. John 3:16...Amen...

 

[Joshwaldron]

I Can't quote the Bible; however, I think the purpose of life is just to make the most out of it and be happy. Making others happy is a good way to do that and always has its own personal gratification to it. Not understanding the purpose of life, I think, means you're not living it the way you want to or to your full potential. Ask yourself if you're passing up on opportunities to make yourself or someone else happy because that's what life is all about. I've been down that road a lot and definitely understand where you're coming from. The meaning of life is to take as much of it in as you can, I suppose, and never have regrets.

 

[Bibleman46]

God created man to take care of the earth (Gen. 1:26,27) and He gave man commandments so they could live in harmony with one another (Ex. 20) God also wanted to establish a relationship with man so that people could enjoy eternal life with Him, whether in heaven or on the new earth. Those who follow the devil will not receive the gift of eternal life. God wants everyone to receive this free gift and live a life that is pleasing to Him. God wants his people to be happy and live with Him for all eternity in a state of never-ending happiness. God also wants to offer you an abundant, happy and peaceful life here now, free from the works of the devil (Jn. 10:10). The choice is yours! Happiness or misery, peace or turmoil, Heaven or hell, Sickness or health, life or death, good or evil, God or the devil?

instead of searching for big answers, maybe it would help to focus on the smallest things. that might even be as simple as taking each day as it comes and being as positive of an influence as you can. you didn't get to where you are today over-night, but literally over hundreds and thousands of days. chances are if you do the small things right, the bigger things will take care of themselves

But now, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8, read Jeremiah 18:6

Let’s pray… God You are the potter and I am the clay. God I ask You in Jesus name, “Work on me so that my life will glorify You. Make me a vessel fit for the Master’s use. Speak to my heart. Show me the areas in my life that I have not submitted to You. Give me the strength to lay down all my idols, all my fears, worries, insecurities, false beliefs, and ungodly desires at Your feet and pick up my cross and follow You daily. Bless me with a heart that will love You the way You want to be loved. And God all that I have asked of You in this prayer please do the same for my family, friends, and the writer of this prayer. Amen.
