Indeed, Jesus Christ is the first, last, and eternal. Grace and peace be to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who offered himself for our sins in order to free us from this present wicked world, according to God and our Father’s will, to whom all glory be forever. Amen.
How often do we question ourselves, “What is my life’s purpose?” Others make a livelihood from disclosing it. Many people publish books on the issue, while others produce films and lectures, but none of them provide a clear answer. Have you ever witnessed young people commit suicide because they believe their lives have no purpose? The demands of this lifetime, especially those of the next generation, are destroying many people’s spirits, leaving them with little alternative but to adapt and surrender to social pressure and corporate exploitation. So, what’s the answer? Is it a book, a movie, a presentation, or a single man’s vision of life? No. The solution is in Jesus. Let’s study some Scripture and look at the Son of Man. Luke 17:20-24, When the Pharisees questioned when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation.”

They must not exclaim, Lo here! or Lo there! For the kingdom of God is inside you.
And he remarked to the disciples, “There will come a time when you will want to see one of the Son of Man’s days, but you will not be able to do so. And they will say to you, “Look here or look there; don’t follow them.” For just as lightning from one region of heaven flashes on another, so will the Son of Man be in his day. Counselors, psychiatrists, and others claim to know what people need, yet they never mention Jesus. Jesus, The Son of Man, The Son of God, Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Word, The Prince of Peace, The Lord of The Sabbath, The Christ, The Seeker of the Lost, The Avenger, The Rewarder, The First, The Last, The Eternal, The Faithful Witness, The First Begotten of the Dead, The Prince of the Kings of the Earth, The Bright and Shining Star, The Alpha, The Omega, The First, The Last, The Morning Star, The Holder of The Key of David, and the Am Man publishes book after book defining our purpose in life, providing us with theology and vocabulary, and creating gods out of plants, animals, and even humans to pray to and seek treatment from. Man-made science, false teaching, idol worship, and false hope are all prevalent in today’s society. Science, evolution, and revolution, as well as new wave faiths that are incapable of hearing or responding to prayer, seek to explain our beginnings. Mankind creates man as a demigod, looking for our destiny in the cosmos and the Big Bang Theory.
Mat 11:27 My Father reveals everything to me, and no one knows the Son except the Father; no one knows the Father save the Son and the one to whom the Son will disclose himself. Matthew 11:27 is an excellent location to begin discovering your destiny on this planet. The Father must know you, and the All Mighty must identify you; without Him, your existence has no purpose other than death and judgement. Do you have a purpose in life? James 4:2. You crave and have not; you murder and seek but are unable to acquire; you battle and war but have not because you do not ask. Jer 17:11 As the partridge sits on eggs and does not hatch them, he who obtains wealth without rights will abandon them in the middle of his days and be a fool in the end. Luke 12:19-20 And I shall say to my spirit, Thou hast many things put up for many years; rest, eat, drink, and be happy. But God responded to him, “You fool, your soul will be required of you this night; then who will have those things that you have provided for?”

Is it our life’s objective to acquire honour for our name and place in life? John 7:18 He who talks of himself wants his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of those who sent him is upright. 1Co 3:21 As a result, let no one extol men. All of this is yours. 2Co 12:6 For, while I wish to glory, I will not be a fool; for I will tell the truth; but now I forbear that any one conceives of me as greater than what he sees or hears about me. Gal 5:26 Let us not seek vain glory, provoke, or envy one another. Phi 3:18-19 For many walk, of whom I have told you frequently and now even weepingly, that they are the enemies of Christ’s cross, whose end is ruin, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their humiliation, who are preoccupied with worldly things. Y is pointless and fading.
Is our life’s objective to accumulate wealth? Jesus remarked, “Children, how difficult is it for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God?” The deceitfulness of wealth.” Luke 16:11 If you have not been loyal to the unrighteous mammon, who would trust you with the actual riches? 1Ti 6:17 Charge those who are affluent in this world to be neither highminded nor reliant on uncertain riches, but on the real God, who gives us liberally all things to enjoy (James 5:2). Your treasures are corrupted, and your clothing have been mutilated. Rev 18:15-17 She shouted, “Alas, alas, that great city, clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, precious stones, and pearls!” The solution is simple: Romans12:1 I therefore implore you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, as is your proper worship. Our life’s aim is to be a living sacrifice to God, seeking His glory, wisdom, knowledge, and acceptance as His children. Our life objective is to serve as our savior. Can we claim that our life’s objective is to avoid ordinances?
