Made for a purpose
People have often pondered over the question of their purpose. One of the problems faced by those who do not believe in God is that if you exist by chance, a random set of circumstances, then you have no real purpose, you have no reason to exist, there is no right or wrong.
I believe this view is wrong. God created you for a purpose and you have an important reason to exist and there is such a thing as right or wrong. If you think about it for a moment you will understand that somewhere deep within you is the knowledge that some things are right and some are wrong. This isn’t just conditioning and everyone has it. This is something that God has put there.
Let’s not get caught up in thinking about how creation worked (e.g. evolution or spontaneous creation or intelligent design or whatever) because the how is not the most important bit (I know many good Christians who are convinced evolutionists for instance) the important bit is that God caused it.
God created you for a reason, a purpose. We can discover, through reading the bible, that God has a plan for the world. It is incredibly complex and God has to allow for giving people the right to make choices about how they fit into that plan but still the plan exists. It’s end goal (as Jesus pointed out) is to create heaven on earth (God’s kingdom come) and to overcome the power of death.
The wonderful thing is that God wants us to share in the plan and our purpose is part of that plan. We have a part to play in the world that will really make a difference.
I don’t mean we are all going to be world heads of government but that we all can help to make God’s plan come true. We have a purpose that God built into us. God knows us even before we are made in our mother’s womb. It was part of God’s plan to have you born.
You truly are made for a purpose.
