Why Do I Exist?

Why are we here, right now at this point in time??

873,000 people die yearly due to suicide.

Are you a product of random selection or is there a God who created you with a purpose?

FOUR BIBLICAL REASONS FOR EXISTANCE:
    I. To be loved by God
    Some people have a hard time believing someone loves them. Some don't want to believe there is a God.
    Ephesians 1:4 and John 4:16

    God's nature is love.
    I John 4:10, Romans 5:8 and Isaiah 53:5-6

    II. To be a member of God's family
    Ephesians 1:5 and John 1:12
    It's the best RIGHT we have.

    III. To build God's Kingdom
    Not a future kingdom nor an earthy kingdom but a spiritual kingdom. A kingdom of righteousness.
    I Peter 2:9
    It's our identity and our mission.
    Matthew 28:19-20
    This is for us personally as well as corporately (as a church body).

    IV. To bring God glory
    Colossiams 3:23 and Phillipians 2:14
