Jesus Christ Is The Source of Purpose & Meaning In Life, Abundant Life,…
Many people attempt to reach God and find purpose & meaning by being a good religious person. Or they try philosophy, or being a good moral person. The problem is that religion and these other things will never solve our greatest problem of having a broken relationship with God because of our sins. Religion, philosophy, morality,… will also never fulfill our greatest needs (salvation, love, acceptance…), and ultimately they will never give us the purpose & meaning in life we all seek.
Whatever you are lacking or whatever is missing in your life, Jesus wants to give to you in overflowing measure. Jesus is “The Way, The Truth, and The Life” (John 14:6), and Jesus is the way to having a restored relationship with God, salvation, and ultimately eternal life in heaven (John 14:6, John 3:16). Jesus is The Source of purpose & meaning in life, and the abundant life that God wants to give us.
Go to Jesus with your emptiness, your needs or hurts or problems… He is The Source. He wants to give you great purpose & meaning in life, and to meet all of your needs. Jesus also wants to help you to be the very best person you can be… a person of high quality, high integrity, and a person of glory (full of His love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control), and a person of honor.
You will never have the full abundant life and purpose & meaning in life that Jesus wants you to have unless you are walking obediently with Him in an intimate and loving fellowship, because Jesus IS the abundant life.
Fulfillment, Satisfaction, Purpose & Meaning In Life:
- ” I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry… and never go thirsty.” – John 6:35
- “the one who feeds on me (fills their heart & soul with Jesus) will live because of me.” – John 6:57
- “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters… why spend your labor on what does not satisfy ? Listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. – Isaiah 55:1-3
- ” … I will satisfy your needs…” – Isaiah 58:11
- Jesus wants to give you purpose & meaning in life by involving you in His Kingdom work and mission. He wants His followers to play an important role in His Kingdom work and mission.
Direction, Guidance, Wisdom:
- “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11
