God created you on purpose, for a purpose

Meaning in life comes from knowing God and His plan for you. The Scriptures hold the answers to life's deepest questions.

  • Why am I here?
    Colossians 1:16
  • Who has God created and shaped me to be?
    2 John 1:6 · 1 Corinthians 13:3b
  • What is God preparing me to do?
    2 Corinthians 4:17 · Romans 8:28
