Purpose driven life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP4tQwGD-m4
Luke 5:1 - 11
We need to have purpose.
The world didn't come about by chance
God has a purpose for our lives. A relationship with God and a mission for Him.
Nietzsche - 'He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how'
Job 7
Job's lamentation
However, Job later came to know God better
Who God is should be the purpose - beyond this world is the reality of an eternal relationship with Him.
The chief end of Man - to Glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
Knowing God is more than than knowing about Him. It is a matter of personal involvement.
Psalm 34
Knowledge of God depends on His continuing knowledge of us. God can't be disillusioned with us, because He knows us completely. He sent Jesus to restore that relationship.
We have a purpose of bringing Glory to Him. We need to share in a way that helps others to be reconciled to Him. Are you seeking to know God more and more every day?
