Purpose
It is Christ that gives purpose and meaning to life. Here are some examples and exhortation from the Bible on this subject:
“Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself” (Daniel 1:8).
“Barnabas … Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord” (Acts 11:22-23).
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Does your life have real meaning and purpose. If you are seeking to live for the Lord, reading your Bible, spending time in prayer, serving others, and spreading the gospel, then your life will have purpose, substance, and eternal value. You will be like Paul, who could say to Timothy at the end of his life, “Thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience” (2 Timothy 3:10).
