What is the purpose of mankind? 📍

Purpose of Mans Existence. Man’s chief end and highest purpose in life is  " to glorify God and enjoy Him forever" Read (Romans 11:36; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Corinthians 10:31; Psalm 86:9).  God said of mankind,"... I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them” Isaiah 43:7.  “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created."  Revelation 4:11 Ephesians 2:10 states that God created people in Christ Jesus for a purpose: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do". This verse also teaches that people are not accidents, but were created on purpose for a purpose.  What is your only comfort in life and death?                                                    ...

Life Purpose & Adam & Eve Q's

Image
God created us for a purpose. God created us perfect but humanity sinned in Eden and caused corruption, sin, suffering etc and ultimately death. That was all HUMANS fault - and the world continues in sin and rebellion to God. And will do so until the world ends.  But because everything was broken God went about His plan to fix it. (*He knew man would do this before the world was created). He implemented the restoration plan (to reclaim what was lost). To bring about mans redemption. (*He already wrote their names in the Lambs Book of Life, before the world was created too). And Jesus is the key to it all. The wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus. Rom 6:23 tells us. God went to great lengths and expense to redeem us from the curse, and bring us back into the right relationship with Him. Plus even better. God was able to display the rest of His attributes because of this plan, and man and angels would know more about Him that they ...

Humanity's Purpose

Human Purpose People are not living out their design and purpose because theyre trapped by their sin nature. They dont desire to live according to God's design & by His revealed truth, so they cant. We can reason with them & share the truth and explain: 1. Who made us 2. Why we exist/what our purpose is 3.What is my value 4. What is wrong  5. How to be repaired (Salvation) 6. How to live (revealed by God in Bible) ...with hope that they'll come to Christ, be born again, and live as we were meant to. But unless humans accept the truth, receive and embrace it, they'll continue to try to fill their lives with everything but what they truly need. And it will end in vain and damnation.

Life Purpose?

Q: How do you find your purpose in life? I'm struggling on this, and praying, trying to make some sense of life. Feeling stuck.  A:  When you say purpose in your life, in what are you thinking? ▪️There is an idea of “purpose” from an earthly perspective that is self-focused to have the best life here.  ▪️Then there is the godly-focused perspective that realizes this life is not our own, but it belongs to God and His glory. This life of ours is to be focused on Him, the eternal-focused on eternity and our best life being there (in that sin free place).  Here is what GQ explains: Note that #1 above is not saying God was lonely. The link below will explain the Aseity of God (of his essense and nature) clearer. We are to live by godly principles and as one surrendered to Him, whatever the cost, and so God is glorified.  The new, eternal life God has given us starts now, and includes to know Him & have a close personal relationship, and to make Him ...
