Throughout history, thinkers from Plato to Kierkegaard have wrestled with the question of why we exist. For Christians, this existential question has a distinct layer—God is not just the Creator of life, but the One who gives our lives meaning. But what does that mean practically in our daily lives? How can we understand our existence in light of the Creator who made us for a purpose? The Bible reveals that humanity was made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), suggesting that our purpose isn’t just about fulfilling a specific mission, but about reflecting the nature of the One who created us. But the tension exists—why do we experience pain, failure, or meaninglessness at times? Why does God seem silent in the midst of suffering or doubt? IN this forum, we will dive deeply into these questions, combining philosophical reflection with scriptural truth. How does human freedom factor into our purpose? What does it mean to live a life of meaning, knowing that we are created with a higher calling but living in a fallen world?‍‍
