Gen 1: 27-28, “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
This is the mankind universal purpose, but did you know per the Bible God crafted a unique, divine purpose for your life before time began. This isn’t merely a plan, but a deeply personal calling He designed specifically for you. Scripture reveals that He knew you and chose you before He laid the foundations of the earth.
“16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. (Matthew 28:16-20)
This passage carries profound significance and exact direction for your journey of faith. After His resurrection, Jesus gathered His disciples on a mountain in Galilee. Even in this powerful moment, Scripture honestly notes that while they worshipped, some still struggled with doubt – showing that even those closest to Jesus wrestled with their faith at times. True, for all of us.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.” (Mark 12:30)
Your purpose isn’t just about what you do; it’s about who you are becoming in Christ. Loving God with all that you are anchors you in His will. Everything flows from this relationship—your decisions, passions, and purpose.
To love God as a Christian is to respond to His infinite love with your whole being—a lifelong journey of trust, obedience, and intimacy. Scripture defines this relationship not as a fleeting emotion but as a covenantal commitment rooted in reverence, surrender, and action. Specifically, we launch our purpose journey loving God with all we got as follows:
We know my neighbor is anyone who crosses my path regardless of differences. Jesus’ command demolishes barriers, urging selfless, sacrificial love that mirrors His own (John 13:34–35). By serving others, you ultimately honor God. This is God’s call to action.
To intentionally walk with God and pursue God’s purpose we divide our life into major life parts utilizing Biblical and life circumstance priorities. Although your life may differ slightly, here some major life parts in priority order: family, work/daily space, church, and special interests.
At the heart of this purpose is God’s transformative love. He created you with the intention of making you whole and holy through His grace. This divine purpose encompasses both who you are becoming in Christ and the good works He has prepared for you to accomplish.
Your life has been deliberately ordained by the Creator of the universe. Each day was written in His book before you took your first breath. Yet this truth doesn’t diminish your role – you are called to actively participate in His plan by working out your salvation with reverence and holy fear.
God has equipped you with His Holy Spirit to guide and empower you in fulfilling this purpose. As you submit to His will and allow His Word to dwell in your heart, He works through you to accomplish His perfect plan. While we may make our own plans, it is His sovereign purpose that ultimately prevails.
Remember that you are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that He prepared beforehand. By staying close to Him and being faithful in what He places before you, you participate in His eternal purpose of bringing glory to His name.
In summary, your journey is not random; it is a resolute expedition guided by God’s hands. He charted your course and given you the tools to fulfill your purpose. This isn’t about wandering—it’s about discovering the divine blueprint for your life and walking intentionally in it with confidence.
OK, so how do I discover my purpose. Glad you asked, we start with Jesus and the Greats
But then Jesus makes an emphatic declaration: He possesses ALL authority in heaven and on earth. This complete authority forms the foundation for what He commands next. Based on this absolute authority, He gives four specific directives that apply directly to you as His follower today:
Most powerfully, Jesus concludes with an incredible promise that speaks directly to you: “I am with you always.” As you step out in faith to fulfill this mission – wherever your are today or wherever He leads – you never go alone. The same Jesus who has all authority promises His presence with you every step of the way, until the very end.
This passage isn’t just history; it’s your commission. You’re part of this continuing mission that Jesus gave to His followers, equipped with His authority and accompanied by His presence.
So this is our Universal Purpose to go and make disciples.
Ok, now let’s explore the Great Command, the basis for your purpose-driven action plan.
Wholehearted Devotion
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart…”(Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37).
Trust and Surrender
“My soul finds rest in God alone…”(Psalm 62:1).
Truth-Seeking and Renewal
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”(Romans 12:2).
“your physical body as a temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Loving God is neither passive nor effortless—it’s a daily choice to “abide in His love” (John 15:9-10). It means embracing His holiness while resting in His mercy, knowing He first loved us (1 John 4:19). As you walk this path, His Spirit transforms you, making love the defining mark of your life (Galatians 5)
By grounding family life in Scripture-guided teaching, Christlike love, and grace-filled relationships, you honor God’s design to “fill the earth” with His glory through generations (Genesis 1:28). Specifically:
Frame your work or daily activities as divine stewardship (Colossians 3:23-24), affirm your God-crafted mission (Ephesians 2:10), and prioritize eternal impact (Matthew 6:33). Together, they transform daily pursuits into purposeful worship.
Here are three Bible verses to guide your daily work and purpose, with practical applications:
We are to actively build up the church as Christ’s body (1 Corinthians 12:27)4, fulfilling His mission to display His glory to the world (Ephesians 3:10-11
Here are three Bible verses to emphasize stewarding gifts (1 Peter 4:10),equipping others (Ephesians 4:12), and faithful service (Hebrews 6:10).
Frame your special interests as opportunities to glorify God (1 Cor 10:31), enjoy His gifts (Eccl 3:13), and serve others wholeheartedly (Col 3:23). By integrating prayer, balance, and service, hobbies become a conduit for worship and community impact, fulfilling Paul’s charge to “live a life worthy of the calling you have received” (Ephesians 4:1).
