The purpose of life doesn't begin with us, but begins with God, the Christian Today website reports today (August 22, 2025).
God, who is love Himself, made us out of love, and to love.
But humanity fell (Genesis 3). In arrogance, we rejected His love, allowing sin to enslave us (Romans 1:21). The bondage of sin ruled over us -- until God, in His mercy and love, sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to break its power.Through His sacrificial death and victorious resurrection, Christ restored our identity as sons and daughters of God and opened the way to eternal life with Him (John 1:12).
The first command God gave humanity was to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28).Being fruitful means maturing in faith and bearing the fruit of love, both in our relationship with God and how we love toward others. This can only happen when we abide in Christ and He abides in us (John 15:5).
