Revelation 4:11
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and honour, and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created." Revelation 4:11 Why am I here? What is my purpose in life? So many people have asked questions like these and wondered what the meaning of life is. If we just evolved from apes and the world began with a Big Bang (as many claim to believe), then there would be no meaning or purpose to our existence. We would have somehow evolved ultimately from nothing, and this ball of nothing wouldn't have had any plan for us. But, praise God! That's not what happened! God is the Creator of the universe! He had a plan! He had a purpose! He knew each one of us before we were born (Psalm 139:15-16) and He knew what He wanted each individual to do in life. He may reveal that plan to us later in life if we follow His will for us. Man, as a whole, have been given the meaning of life, which is clearly stated in the Scriptures. According to Revelation 4:11, everything was created for God's pleasure; He wants His creation to glorify Him. Our role in this life is given to us through Ecclesiastes 12:13 - "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." How wonderful it is that the Creator Himself tells us what His purpose is for us! In conclusion, our lives are meant to glorify God by fearing Him and keeping His commandments. So let's get out there and glorify God with our lives so we can fulfill the meaning of life!!
