AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

Bible Question: How do I know my purpose in life |
Bible Answer: Someone seems to have answered the question in a question-and-answer dialogue with himself. Who made me? God made me. Why did God make me? To know him, love him and serve him in this world, and to live with him forever in the next. This seems to be a scriptural answer. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 1 Timothy 2:4 God will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created: all things were created by him, and for him. Eph 1:12 We should be to the praise of his glory. But God does gives specific gifts and callings (Romans 11:29) and one would do well to discover and develop and use them. The leaders of the church can be of great help in this (1Timothy 4:14). |
