True purpose — meaningful purpose — is found when we live for the very reason God created us.
The Bible says:
“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
That verse is foundational. It tells us plainly: We were created for God’s pleasure, for His delight, for His will.
And Scripture goes even further to show us what that pleasure is.
“For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son…” Romans 8:29
That’s it. That’s the heart of it.
We were created to be conformed to the image of Christ — to reflect His character, to walk in His love, to bear His likeness in this world.
That’s the deepest purpose of our lives— not just to do something for God, but to become someone in God.
To become like Jesus.
So, let’s not settle for surface -level living. Let’s not waste our lives asking only, “What am I supposed to do?” Let’s seek instead to become who we were made to be.
Because when we are conformed to Christ, everything else flows from that. That’s the purpose that gives life its greatest meaning.”
