Finding the Meaning to Life

‎Introduction:

‎ We search for meaning in success, relationships, and experiences, yet true purpose remains elusive. Meaning isn’t something we invent; it is something we discover from our Creator.
‎
‎I. The Foundation of Meaning: Knowing the Source.
‎ True meaning is found not in a philosophy, but in a Person: Jesus Christ, who is life itself (John 14:6). We were created in God’s image (Gen 1:26) for a relationship with Him. Meaning starts with receiving the wisdom He offers (Prov 4:1-2).
‎
‎II. The Path to Meaning: Yielding to the Prescription
‎God’s Word is the manufacturer’s manual for a fulfilled life. It is not enough to just hear it; we must do it (James 1:22). The doer of the Word is blessed.
‎
‎ How to Discover This Meaning:
‎
‎ 1. Immerse in the Word: “Meditate on the Book of the Law day and night… then you will have good success.” (Joshua 1:8)
‎
‎ 2. Cultivate a Godly Attitude: Pride destroys purpose, but humility paves the way. “Pride goes before destruction…” (Prov 16:18). Your attitude determines your altitude.
‎
3‎. Remain Teachable: Be open to correction and guidance. “Train up a child in the way he should go…” (Prov 22:6). A teachable spirit attracts divine help.
‎
4.‎ Love the Lord: Desire His presence like a newborn baby desires milk (1 Peter 2:2). Love for God is the engine of obedience.
‎
‎III. The Evidence of Meaning: A Transformed Life
‎
‎ Those who find this new meaning are never the same:
‎
‎1. Simon Peter (Luke 5:1-11) left his nets to follow Christ.
‎
‎2. Saul (Acts 9) became Paul, preaching the kingdom he once tried to destroy (Acts 28:31).
‎
‎3. The healed demoniac (Mark 5:20) became an evangelist to his city.
‎ This is the testimony of those who look at Him and are radiant (Ps 34:5).
‎
‎Prayer:
‎*Lord, let Your light shine on my path.
‎
‎*Be glorified in my life and direct my steps.
‎
‎*I refuse to look back. Fasten my hands and eyes on the plough of my purpose.
‎
‎*Help me to finish strong and faithful. Amen.
