Acts 17:26-27 – And he determined the times set for them….God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him.
What was the point of my life? we frequently ponder as our lives come to an end. Why was I sent to this planet? Can I claim to have made any progress in my life?
God’s purposes for a person’s time on earth could be very diverse. However, the most important thing he desires for anyone is that they come to know Christ
The events that follow are extraneous. God desires that everyone be saved. Even before the world was created, he predetermined that you would be saved, and he planned your life in such a way that you could come to saving faith and die in that faith.
When considering whether the purpose of your life has been fulfilled, put this first in your mind. Then consider how God used you to make it happen for others, such as when you brought your kids to their baptism, when you invited people to church, and when you donated your time and resources to help his Word be preached. Through your efforts, he reached others after saving you. What a success that is.
Prayer:
Lord God, thank you for your gracious plan for my life to grant me eternal life. Amen.
