In life is to glorify God and do His will. He made each of us for a certain purpose. To discern that purpose takes time and walking with God in obedience. As we grow closer to Him, He reveals more and more of His Divinity to us, including our ultimate reason for being. It is enough for us to start by obeying his Law and Loving Him. As we do this, we begin to reflect His glory in us. As we reflect His glory in us, we become translucent, and His light can shine to be a beacon to others, always glorifying Him, never ourselves.
Before we were able to contemplate the Divine Creator, we were similar to animals. It is our ability to worship our Creator, God, that sets us apart from the animals. Our sole purpose is to give thanks to Him for creating us. Do you realize each of us, by being born, has won a 1 in 1 trillion chance lottery? (I’m a midwife, I’ve worked out the numbers yo). You are more likely to win the super lotto than to be created! So everyone you know is already a huge winner. Why wouldn’t we bow down and worship our maker, give Him praise, and live for Him?
For that is our sole purpose in life. God wants us to know Him and love Him and live for Him.
