Question: 
 
I don’t think that my life has any purpose. How can I know my true 
meaning and purpose for living?  
 
Answer: 
 
Everyone has purpose in life. Why? Because God is a God of design 
and purpose. He’s the Creator, and as a Creator—He has intelligent 
design.  
 
If you will, it’s kind of like a watchmaker. A watchmaker makes a 
watch, not just by going “hmmm . . . hmmm . . . hmmm. . .” There’s 
intelligent design, to design the watch in a way that the parts all fit 
correctly.  
 
So, what is your purpose in life? I have talked to some people who will 
say, “I thought my purpose was. . .” And then, they would state 
something that was taken away from them—like a parent with an only 
child—and the child dies, and they feel like they no longer have 
purpose in their lives. Or a man who loses a job, and that job was 
everything to him, and now he’s lost his purpose. 
 
Think about this. Your purpose should be that which is so foundational 
that it can never be taken away from you. So, since God is the Master 
Designer, with intelligent design, what would His purpose be for you? 
He has stated what your highest purpose is. This is found in Romans 
8:29: “That you be conformed to the character of Christ.” Now, think 
about it. If your highest purpose is to be conformed to the character of 
Christ, would you be a good person? Yes. Would you live according to 
 
the Bible? Would you glorify God? Yes. You see, when you get first 
things first, all the other things follow in line.  
 
Now, when you have the right target, of being conformed to the 
character of Christ; that’s the why of your life. Your purpose is the 
“why” of your life. Why did God put you here? God wants you to line 
up your life with His purpose. 
 
I would say if you’re a parent, one of your purposes would be to be the 
wisest parent you could be, as long as you have any child that is alive.  
God has a plan for you, and that plan is good. Ask Him, “Reveal to me, 
Lord, what are your purposes for me.” There won’t be just one 
purpose. “What are your purposes for me? May I learn to say no to the 
things that are not profitable, and yes to the things that are right in 
His sight,” and then enjoy the purpose for which He created you. 
 
You can’t be any more fulfilled than being in the perfect will of God. 
Doing what He asked you to do. What He planned for you to do. What 
He designed for you to do—according to His purpose.
