God’s Promises for Purpose
God promises that your life has meaning: you were made on purpose, for a purpose, and He is working all things toward good.
You are not an accident. God promises that He formed you, knows you, and has good works prepared for you to walk in.
He promises to work all things together for good for those who love Him, giving your life eternal significance in His hands.
What God promises, in His own words
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

How this points to Jesus
In Christ we discover what we were made for, to know God and to share His life. Every promise of purpose is yes in Him, who gives our lives meaning that death cannot erase. A life surrendered to Jesus is never wasted, for He completes the good work He begins.
