It is possible to be alive and yet never really live. If you never ask the right questions about your purpose, you will go through life as if in a catatonic state. But living with the end in mind is a reminder to look to Christ.
Why do you get up in the morning? What is your reason for being here? If you do not answer these questions about your purpose, the world will define it by default. Arriving at a biblical understanding of purpose is fundamental to the way you live.
It is important to realize that, while evangelism is a key part of this calling, edification is the end game. We are not called to make only converts, but disciples—ones who becomes like the Master. Our universal purpose, then, is to love God with our whole life by becoming more like Christ and by making disciples who do the same.
God’s purpose for our lives transcends our career and present circumstances. This involves both a universal and a unique purpose.
