WHAT IS A HUMAN?
PURPOSE
Genesis 1:26-28
To live is Christ.
What is the purpose of life? We're all asking the question, but most of us aren't completely confident in the answers we've been given. As we look back to the creation of humans we find that our purpose can't be found in the things you do, the friends you have, or the responsibilities you've been given. But, if that's true, what is our purpose?
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
1. Of the six "C's" offered, which are you most likely to find meaning and purpose in?
2. How does the fact that God spoke to humans and blessed them establish the foundation for our purpose as humans?
3. How would more fully embracing your purpose as "glorifying God and enjoying him forever" change how you engage with work, hobbies, friends, and family?
4. What does the statement "to live is Christ" mean to you?
