Reason for our Existence

 

Reason for our Existence- we need to understand and know the answer of this question why do we exist?

Exist means have objective reality or being.

Purpose of this life is the meaning of our existence and without knowing this we often suffer ignorant of our own significance.

We fall prey to the illusion that our lives don't matter and we have no connection or impact on the world around us.

Please Turn with me 1Peter 2:9 - “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

We are the chosen one not the Ordinary one in fact we are a Chosen Generation.

And what the half verse is saying – “that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light”

Think once after seeing all our actions, behaviors and our life styles – 

Are we really deserve this.

Try to understand this – Please turn with me Acts 2:23 - This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.

Let’s have a look to first Man –Adam

According to Genesis 1:26 - Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Father created Adam for Himself—for His own glory, not man’s glory.

Scripture says, “God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”

The Lord could not have complimented us more than to make us like Himself. Humanity is the crown of God’s creation.

We need to recognize, therefore, that we were made for God and in His likeness so we can understand the reason for our existence.

What pleases a human worldly father more than to hear, “that boy looks just like you; he even acts like you”? 

So imagine If we would full fill our eternal purpose from our lives to honour the Lord and reflect His glory. Our God takes pleasure in spiritual sons who reflect His character.

1. Glory Spreaders

First and fundamentally, to image God means in our most human selves, we are spreaders

“The point of being created in the image of God is that human beings are destined to display God.

2. Marble (Likeness)

So if God made us, in his image, it means clearly: God is the reality and we are the image. Images are created to set forth the reality.

3. Mirrors (Reflective)

So I being created in the image of God means that we are image of God. We reflect God. We live in a way, we think in a way, we feel in a way, we speak in a way that calls attention to the brightness of the glory of God.

4. Finally Why Do I Exist?

For us to live out this purpose of our redeemed life (as per (Romans 10:9)) our lives to shine with the glory of God, our self-centered sin must be overcome. That is what God is doing by his Spirit. We are being changed into the image of Christ. 

(2 Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:15; 3:10; Romans 8:29)

May God Bless You.
