Everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. -Colossians 1:16
First things first, you are not going to discover life's meaning through yourself you must look to God. You were made by God; you didn't create yourself. You need more help in life than just self-help books or strategies. Instead of speculating on what you think the purpose of life is, we should use revelation. Got to God's word for instruction on how to live life. The Bible says, "It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone." There are Three insights to this verse:
1.) You discover your identity and purpose through a relationship with Jesus Christ. If you don't have such a relationship, I will later explain how to begin one.
2.)God was thinking of you long before you ever thought about him. His purpose for your life predates your conception. He planned it before existed, without your input. You may choose your career, your spouse, your hobbies, and may other parts of your life, but you dint get to choose your purpose.
3.) The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity. That's what this book is about.
