Does Life Have Any Meaning?

[Albert Finch]

A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree. (Proverbs 11:28)

For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank of angels--everthing got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him. (Colossians 1:16)

Jesus said, "Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self." (Matthew 16:25)

It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for (our DESTINY). Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, He had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose He is working out in everything and everyone. (Ephesians 1:11)

The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me. (Psalm 138:8)

Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants. (Ephesians 5:17)

Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

The Lord has made everything for His own purposes. (Proberbs 16:4)

"They are my own people, and I created them to bring me glory," says the Lord. (Isaiah 43:7)

"I know what I am planning for you," says the Lord. "I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future." (Jeremiah 29:11)

these words go right along with Philippians 3: 12 Not that I have already attained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ JESUS took hold of me
