Scriptural references:
John 3:16, Romans 6:23, John 14:6
In what sense does the word “purpose” serve us best? The most relevant response is our existence here on Earth. However, life’s complexity can drive us crazy. Some are still looking, and others are confused. If we look more deeply into our inner selves, we will find that one thing drives us toward a single purpose: God’s purpose for us.
No matter how hard we try, there will always be moments when we long to understand something we cannot explain. These moments prompt us to question many things. Even the wealthy spend their time figuring out how to double or triple what they already have. The twenty‑four hours we are given each day often feel too short as we struggle to make both ends meet.
There must be a purpose—a guiding principle—that helps us conclude that life has meaning, one we must embrace and follow. Only then can we begin to dispel our uncertainties, bringing what is hidden in the dark into the light of truth. Only God can reveal these things to us.
John 3:16
King James Version
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
New Living Translation
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Purpose conveys more than the mere existence of God; even inanimate objects have their own purposes. If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, it will not be difficult to understand these questions from the standpoint that God became human.
Why did God send His Son, Jesus, for our salvation? Salvation is the fulfillment of a divine purpose—driven by the boundless love of a holy God. There can be no greater reason than His love. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…” Have we ever considered why salvation is so simple—received by believing, and not by effort? None of us has the power to save ourselves. This reveals that God is real, not a figment of imagination, and that when we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, life takes on true meaning and purpose. This is a miracle.
Romans 6:23
King James Version
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
New Living Translation
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Why did God say “go and multiply”?
Relationship: this is the bridge that connects us to our Father. Sin, no matter how we put it into words, separates us from Him.
It is not complicated to understand a relationship of a father to his children. Obligation arises as soon as we have our children. From the beginning, we teach our children what is morally right. We extend the good things we experience to our children. Protect them at all costs.
Unlike living here on earth, God’s purpose is for us to have what God has for us. Our purpose is to be with God, our Father. There is no limitation for God’s divine works. Whatever God does is indeed for His glory; however, for humans it is for our joy, a joy given by our Father God. God wants His glory through us. Greater is His glory in a multitude.
Sin took everything from us that God gave.
Sin is sin, and grace is grace. Sin remains the line that separates us from God, and grace is the only way God takes away the guilt. It cannot be taken out of the equation. It is not like smoke; now you see it, and then it is gone. It is why we have to confess it to God, and by grace we will be forgiven. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Sin, by contrast, is not something we should ever long for; it is instead a revealing proof of our nature, something we have repeatedly seen and done. Faith lifts us toward what is unseen and yet promised, while sin exposes the broken habits that so often define human experience.
John 14:6
King James Version
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
New Living Translation
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
Why do we find it so difficult to accept the simple truth of our salvation from our Heavenly Father? We often trust the words of others without any proof, yet when it comes to the gift of salvation, we struggle to embrace it with the same faith. What holds us back from trusting God’s promise as readily as we trust people? We feel comfortable and safe when someone who is the same as us, has the same issue of being a sinner, and tells us with complete confidence their point of view. The Bible explicitly tells us the blind are leading the blind. When we committed the first sin
Divine purpose
Everything that comes from God is divine. We are called to reflect His goodness because we were created by Him. Yet the story does not end there. Despite our failings, God, in His grace, rescued us from our own mistakes and restored us to our original purpose—to be His children.
At this point, the purpose of being born again becomes clear. As Jesus Himself—the incarnate God—declared, one must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. This new birth restores us to our intended relationship with Him.
The bottom line
It is now crystal clear: the power of God’s purpose. The unimaginable result of the consequences of our human nature that placed us in a spot in hell; God has the power over death. The blood of Jesus sealed the contract between Him and us, this time a spot in heaven instead of hell.
Until Jesus returns, our mission is to lead others back to God. We are called to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and faithfully carry out the work of an evangelist, spreading hope and truth wherever we go.
