What are the most important things in life?
I think everyone will have a different answer to this question, but in general, money, fame, power, achievement, family, self-fulfillment, and so on.
Why did you come into this world?
How do you define the meaning of life?
How do you measure the correctness of your answers?
Or is everyone’s answer right, as long as you are happy? Anyway, it is your life and no one else needs to intervene. Simply put, it is none of your business.
For Christians, is there a meaning to life that we cannot change?
What does the Bible say about this?
According to the Bible, there are several things that a Christian must do in life. If you accomplish them, then your life has meaning. If you don’t, you are wasting your time.
First, become a person fully committed to God. The summary of the law is to love God and love our neighbors. The only person who has kept the law is the one who is fully committed to Christ. Only such a person can be pleasing to God.
Secondly, become a servant. We came to this world not only to live for ourselves, but also to serve others. Jesus said that he came to serve, not to be served. If all human beings could serve one another, the world would be a better place.
Third, become a person fulfilling the mission of God. Jesus’ Great Commission is for us to fulfil 5 verbs, i.e. go, make disciples, baptise, teach, and obey.
Fourth, become a little Jesus. God wants us to obey all His teachings and submit to the Holy Spirit, not to the desires of the flesh. Christians must choose to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit.
These four life goals are also the goals of discipleship. Discipleship is about helping Christians to continually progress in these four areas in their lives. This is a purpose driven discipleship, and it is also an intentional discipleship. When we fight, we don’t just swing our fists randomly in the air, but we strike accurately at our enemies.
