God created you for a purpose. Life is not a cosmic accident. God has us on this planet for a real purpose. Life is not a meaningless journey with no goal. God has purpose in all things. That certainly includes you. What is God's purpose?
God not only wants you to understand your purpose in life, but He wants you to see exactly how that purpose is fulfilled. God has revealed it to you in the Bible. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Bible tells why God created you. God made you to the praise of His glory.
God made all things for His glory. You were created to bring honor and glory to God. If we live selfishly, we miss the purpose of God. That's called sin in the Bible. It means that we fall short of the glory of God. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
God provides the way for you to live for His glory. The way is Jesus Christ. He is the way to a life full of purpose. God changes your heart to live for His glory through Christ. He shall conform all believers to the likeness of Christ, to the praise of His glory (1 John 3:2). You were created to bring glory to God in Christ.
We who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory (Ephesians 1:12). The purpose of your salvation in Christ is to God's glory. The purpose of your worship is to the praise of God's glory. Your prayers are to bring glory to God. Then you pray, For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever (Matthew 6:13).
