Your life is a story, and it’s caught up in the great story of humanity.
This great story, as we see in the Scriptures, shows us the amazing love
story that is God’s pursuit of man. The God that is love created us so
we can ultimately be with his love. We were made to be with God.
Union with God is so central to the purpose of life that we even see
the afterlife in these terms. Our definition of Heaven is union with
God, and Hell is the absence of him. Your life has a plot. Your life has
purpose. Your life has value. We need to see how we fit into this big
love story to begin to know why we exist. And that love of God isn’t
abstract—it has a face and name: Jesus.
