What Is the Meaning of Life?

Usually we’re too busy rushing around living life to really ponder its meaning. But sometimes we can’t help wonder, what does it all mean? Why are we here?

Ah, the “rat race”—our darkly humorous term for how we relentlessly run on the endless treadmill of working, paying bills, running to and fro fulfilling family obligations and social responsibilities and ending up exhausted, only to do it again the next day.

We typically scurry around day to day, month to month and year to year, living life as if it has no end. Occasionally, though, we slow down from the maddening quest for “success”—pursuing money, love, fame, power … whatever—and ask ourselves some of the most profound questions in life: Why am I here? Is there more to life than just acquiring “stuff” or doing things? What is the meaning of life? Is there a reason, a purpose, to this existence?

Surely there must be some deeper significance to life other than running the rat race in a wearisome effort to get or achieve something before it ends! And there is! The God who created us did so with a tremendous purpose for us, with an intention that few people truly comprehend. Understanding His design for your life will lift you out of the emptiness of the rat race around us and will give your existence incredibly rich meaning and worth!

Explore and discover with us here what God reveals about why He created life! The One who made you wants you to wrap your mind and life around the most incredible understanding possible—your purpose, your reason for being!
