LIFE PURPOSE In today’s world, we have shifted from the very purpose towards finding ourselves. We tried to make life’s benefits the very purpose of our existence. We place more value on solving our problems. As much possible we avoid pain. We look for plan to follow. We study Bible, read Christians books, attend seminar and listen to sermon to discover plan that will produce a results- “a verse each day keeps devil away.” That’s the problem of some Christian today. They devoted thoroughly to life now, with teaching on self-improvement, self-satisfaction, self-gratification and building happier lives. What is then the purpose of life? Read Isaiah 43:7. The benefit of life is not the highest value, it is not the reason for living, but drive us back to Him as the reason for living. The very purpose of our life is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. To glorify God means to live with such a passionate devotion to the Holy One, His person, His purpose, and His praise. Passion for the glory of God begins and is possible, when we choose to reject our own honor, refutation and self-gratification. [Read Eph.1: 3-14] Our passion is to know Christ. That should be our deepest pleasures. Don’t focus on finding solution to your problem, but rather focus on the source of the solution and get to know His wills. We have to acknowledge that our hunger for Christ comes with Him and will not completely satisfies on the earth. God is glorified when we acknowledge our dependence on Him for all good things. God is glorified when we express it in every area of our lives: workplace, church, home, and businesses. (1Cor. 10:31) John Piper in his book says, “God created us to live with a single passion to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.” (Don’t Waste Your Life, pp.37) All of life is the arena in which the glory of Holy One is to be manifested. No part of life can be a matter of indifference or unconcern.
