Day 1 It all starts with God
The search for the purpose of life has puzzled pple for thousands of years, because be begin at the wrong starting point, which is ourselves (wat's MY goals? MY ambition? MY future?)
"It is God who directs the lives of his creatures; everyone's life is in his power" - Job 12:10
1. Question of existence
Q: Why am I alive? - Jeremiah 20:18
A: We were born by His purpose, and for his purpose, so the purpose of our life is far greater than our own personal fulfillment and happiness.
God is the source of life, and He created us, so that He could love us.
2. Question of significance
Q: The need for significance - Isaiah 49:4
A: God chosed us. - Isaiah 44:2
3. Question of intention
Q: What is my purpose? How do I find it?
A: By getting to know God, know His Words, through a relationship with Jesus Christ
"Everything got started in Him, and finds its purpose in Him" - Colossians 1:16
Unless you assume a God, the question of life's purpose is meaningless. - Bertrand Russell
