Biblical Answer

Can I still have a purpose in life?

According to Scripture, the major purpose of your life should be to glorify God (Psalm 23:3-4, 1 Corinthians 10:31). This is not just a vague or general idea, but a specific and intentional goal that should guide all of your decisions and actions. When you consider the major commitments or goals of your life at the present time, you should ask yourself if they are aligned with this purpose.

If you are not currently fulfilling your purpose in life, it is not necessarily a reflection of your worth or value as a person. Rather, it may be a sign that you need to update your life plan and find a new path to achieve your purpose. This could involve making changes to your relationships, education, job, or use of money, among other things. The key is to stay committed to your purpose and to continue seeking God's guidance and wisdom in your decisions.

Ultimately, the purpose of your life is not something that you can create or manufacture on your own. Rather, it is something that is given to you by God, and it is only through a relationship with Him that you can truly understand and fulfill your purpose. As the writer of Ecclesiastes says, "The fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other" (Ecclesiastes 3:19-20). But if there is a God, then your life is qualitatively different from that of an animal, and you have a purpose and a reason for living.
