God’s Word is pretty clear as to what our purpose in life should be. Down through the years in ancient time, biblical he- roes have sought for and discovered life’s purpose. Bishop Solomon, the “DD” Hayes wisest man who ever lived, discov- Chapel ered the futility of life when it is lived News only for this world. He gives these concluding remarks in the book of Ecclesiastes: “here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” Solomon also says that life is all about honoring God with our thoughts and lives and thus keeping His commandments, for one day we will stand before Him in judgment. Part of our purpose in life is to fear God and obey Him. Another part of our purpose is to see life on this earth in perspective. In other words, enjoy this life and re- member that from Holy Scriptures, there is a life to come. Don’t get caught up in life what other folks are doing or what they possess. Know for yourself that God also has a pur- pose in life designed just for you. A relationship with God matters above all else in life. Without that relation- ship, life has no real purpose Our purpose in life, as God origi- nally created man is: 1) Glorify God and enjoy fellowship with Him; 2) Have good relationships with oth- ers; 3) Work, and; 4) Have dominion over the earth. But man’s fall into sin brought: broken fellowship with God, strained relationships with other, frustrating in the work arena, and man struggles to maintain any semblance of dominion over nature. Only by restoring fellowship with God, can man’s purpose in life be re- discovered. The sole purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him for- ever.
