What is purpose to me?
As people we often get to a point where we find ourselves searching for meaning and purpose in our life.
Living in purpose is described as a deliberate mindset that is intentional about performing out something according to God’s intended will. We list 7 Lessons for the Journey to Purpose.
The need for that fulfilment of purpose comes naturally as the bible says God has a purpose for everything as the creator of all in the world.
The LORD has made everything for his own purposes, even the wicked for a day of disaster.
Proverbs 16:4
For I know the plans I have for you,β declares the LORD, βplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future or say. [Jeremiah 29:11 ]
Our purpose is revealed gradually to us as Jesus Christ “gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people of his own, zealous of good works.” It is not good works first, and grace after; but it is his grace first, and good works after in line with Godβs purpose.
For we are Godβs masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10
