At some point in our lives, each of us have likely asked God, "What's the point?" Asking this question drives us beyond the surface of life into the depths of our short, though significant, journey on earth. Yet, to understand God's point in our circumstances, we must go beyond our initial perspectives and feelings.
Our emotions and the circumstances we face often hinder our ability to see our larger purpose. This reality is clearly stated, "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10, NIV).
As we plow the untamed ground of our human existence and purpose, we see from the Bible that we are designed to flourish in God’s presence. This is an identity beyond any label the world can give us. It is an unexplainable intimacy and interest with the God of the universe who cares about each of us at this moment, in this specific situation. God is working beyond what we can see for His glory to be manifested in our lives. This identity in Christ is the answer to the question of the point of it all.
