Know: The truth to be understood
Man’s ultimate purpose is not self-fulfillment or personal success, but to glorify the God who made us. Everything we are and everything we do finds its meaning in Him. From creation, God designed humanity to reflect His character and to live in joyful relationship with Him. This isn’t just a theological idea—it’s the reason we exist.
Grow: How this truth should transform us
When we understand this purpose, it reshapes the way we see the world. Life becomes more than a series of tasks or pursuits; it becomes worship. Whether in suffering or success, we find lasting joy not in what we have, but in who God is. Like the psalmist, our hearts learn to say, “There is nothing on earth I desire besides You.”
Go: Our response to the truth
As this truth takes root in our lives, it moves us to action. We begin to live more intentionally—not to make our name known, but His. In our daily routines, relationships, and responsibilities, we have countless opportunities to show the world the greatness of our God. Our purpose is fulfilled not just in believing this truth, but in living it out.
