What is the reason for your existence?

What is the reason for your existence? Philosophers have raised that question for centuries. What is my purpose? The answer is simpler than you think. You exist to give praise and give glory to God who created you, knowing, because of the free will he gave you, that you would choose to sin. And knowing this HE paved a pathway back to fellowship with HIM, God, by coming to Earth as a sinless man, Jesus, to be scorned and ridiculed by those he was here to serve, sacrificing Himself on a Roman cross as a substitute for our sins. Our purpose is to worship the creator of the Universe for HIS greatness, HIS mercy and for HIS grace. We praise HIM when we use our talents to do work to HIS glory, we share HIS gospel, the good news of his mercy, with others, when we lift up our voices in praise like we just finish doing, and we give HIM praise and worship in communion when we remember the last night Jesus spent with his disciples. Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. We do this in remembrance of a perfect life sacrificed because it was the only way to restore relationship between sinful man and a righteous God. If you have made Jesus the LORD of your life and follow him, we ask you to join us in this time of communion.
