Every believer needs to live a purposeful life. God has a plan for each of us, and it helps us to live a fulfilling life. We did not come to this world by accident. We are here in God’s plan. When we do God’s will, we find true happiness and peace.
It is very important to seek God’s guidance in our daily lives. When we pray to Him and meditate on His Word, we understand His plan. By following Jesus, we find the true purpose of life. Jesus told us that He came to this world to give us a full life. Through Jesus, we can know the true purpose of life in knowing things like forgiveness of sins, salvation, judgment, and eternal life.
From the life of Moses, we see how God fulfills the purpose of our lives in His plan. God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of slavery, but he doubted his ability. God used him in a way where he was able to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. So many times we also do not understand the purpose of our lives, but by having faith and trust in God, we find the purpose of life.
We can live a purposeful life by using the gifts and talents God has given us to serve others and for God’s purposes. Jesus told us that we are the light of the world, so we must reach out to the people who are in darkness so that they too can know the truth of life. We also need to fulfill God’s plan by winning lost souls.
