What gives meaning and purpose to human life?

Answer 1

Well i am a Christian. I believe in 1 and only God. I believe that God has made us for a purpose. God states in Genesis, My creation is good. He says we are all beautiful, and created in him image. We all have a purpose, like some people's can be, sharing Gods glory by preaching in front of people, or sharing Gods glory by singing praises to him.

Answer 2

A great Bible scholar said, "The greatest events in a person's life happen in the inner chambers of the heart."

When we desire to grow closer to God and to please him, we become doers of His Word.

Psalm 37:3-6 "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday."

We grow increasingly familiar with God's Word, hiding it in our hearts and delighting in its truth. We begin to evidence His goodness in our lives.

Luke 6:45 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good..."

As we align our purposes with God's, our lives have great meaning, and we shine as lights in the world.

Philippians 2:15 "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;"

Our participation in God's purposes is our decision according to our hunger and thirst for righteousness. Besides enjoying prosperity and good health (III John 2), there are good works, which God has prepared for us to accomplish. God has given us the ability to use His power to influence the conditions of our times positively, and we can tap into our spiritual abilities to see His will come to pass in our lives and the lives of our fellow men.

Philippians 2:16 "Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain."
