God's Purpose for Man's Existence - Module 3A | Lesson 1

 

God's Purpose for Man's Existence


I. Created for God’s Glory

  1. Isaiah 43:7
    “Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.”

    • Insight: Man’s primary purpose is to glorify God, to reflect His goodness and greatness in creation. By acknowledging and aligning with this purpose, we fulfill the reason for our existence.
  2. 1 Corinthians 10:31
    “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”

    • Insight: Our actions, even in the simplest acts of life, should point others to God's glory, fulfilling our role as His image-bearers in the world.

II. Fellowship with God

  1. Genesis 1:27
    “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

    • Insight: Being created in God’s image means we are uniquely designed for a relationship with Him. He desires for us to know Him personally and live in constant communion with Him.
  2. 1 John 1:3
    “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.”

    • Insight: God’s purpose for mankind includes fellowship not only with each other but with Him, our Creator and Savior. Through Jesus, this fellowship is fully realized.

III. To Serve and Obey God

  1. Ecclesiastes 12:13
    “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

    • Insight: Solomon teaches that reverent fear of God and obedience to His commandments are foundational to fulfilling our purpose on Earth.
  2. Micah 6:8
    “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”

    • Insight: Living a life of justice, mercy, and humility aligns us with God’s purpose, guiding us toward righteous service.

IV. To Love God and Others

  1. Matthew 22:37-39
    “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”

    • Insight: Loving God and others is not only a command but a fundamental part of why we exist. In doing so, we live out God’s love and purpose in our daily lives.
  2. John 13:34-35
    “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

    • Insight: Our love for others reflects our love for God, serving as a witness to the world of His love and presence within us.

V. To Reign with God and Steward His Creation

  1. Genesis 1:28
    “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

    • Insight: Part of man’s purpose includes stewarding creation and exercising dominion under God’s authority, caring for the world He made.
  2. Revelation 5:10
    “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

    • Insight: God’s ultimate plan is for mankind to share in His rule. We are called to be stewards of His creation now and to reign with Him eternally.

Conclusion

God’s purpose for man’s existence encompasses glorifying Him, having fellowship, serving and obeying Him, loving others, and reigning with Him. Through these, we find our identity and fulfillment, drawing closer to God and fulfilling His divine plan.

  16. Present. Today I learned that life's purpose is to fear God and follow his commandments. A person who disobeys the commandments, continually loses their life and sense of purpose in this world. There will be a fellowship through his words and even though we have sins, God still loves us. We must never abandon the one who gave us life.

  17. Present po ako knina nakalimutan ko lang po nag comment

    I learned about :
    -Kapag nalaman mo ang purpose ng buhay mo ang bunga nito happiness.
    -Nilikha ang Diyos for God Glory

    Nawala ang fellowship ng tao sa Diyos dahil sa kasalanan ng tao
    Pero ginagawa lahat ng Diyos para maibalik ang Fellowship ng tao sa Diyos.
    Pumunta sa sa Simbahan para matutunan ang mabuting salita ng Diyos
    Hindi para mapunta sa langit .

    Through Jesus we have fellowship with God .

    Nag katawang tao si Jesus para magsilbing daan para mag karoon tao ng fellowship sa Diyos .

    (Ecclesiastes )
    Sinulat ng Subrang matalinong tao ,
    Maraming wisdom,
    Maraming kaalaman.

    Commandments
    Lakaran / ginagawa

    (Solomon )
    Ayun sakanya
    Irespeto ang panginoon
    Lumakad sa mga commandments(kautosan ) ng Panginoon


    Gumawa ka ng mabuting magaan sa loob,

    Ang gaan ng buhay pag wala kang iniisip na niloko mo .

    Kapag wala kang relationship sa Diyos
    Hindi mo maiintindihan ang Diyos
    At kung anong part nya sa Buhay natin.


    Pinapakinggan po natin ang mga payo na huwag gawin ang mga mali dahil may Diyos tayo sa buhay hindi dahil sinabi lang ng may posisyon saating Bayan like President .

    Ang pag mamahal sa panginoon / kapwa ay hindi lang isang kautusan kundi ito ang dahilan kung bakit tau nag eexist sa mundo

    Meaning of love
    -Original ng concept of love
    -GOD IS LOVE
    -PAG NAINTINDIHAN NATIN ANG PAGMAMAHAL SA PANGINOON MALALAMAN NATIN ANG original CONCEPT OF LOVE

    God said:
    Kagayq ng pagmamahal ko sayo mahalin mo din ang iyong kapwa tao.


    Nong tayoy makasalanan pa minahal nya tayo and he sacrifice his life para matubos ang ating mga kasalann
    Ginawa ang lahat ni God para mailapit ang tao muli saknya sa pamamagitan ni Jesus .
    Nilikha ang Diyos for God Glory
    Kung ano yung nakaka lugod .

  19. ‎In my understanding, God’s purpose for man’s existence is for us to glorify him and reflect His goodness in everything we do. He created us in His image so we can have a close relationship and fellowship with Him. God wants us to live in a way that shows His greatness—by obeying His commandments, doing what is right, and walking humbly before Him.

    ‎God also wants us to love him and others, showing kindness and compassion in our actions. We are called to be good stewards of His creation, taking care of the world and living responsibly. In the end, our true purpose is to honor God, serve Him faithfully, and share in His blessings forever.

    We used to doubt our worth every time we felt unvalued or unseen. We often tell ourselves things like "I'm not good enough" or "I don't have a purpose." But the truth is that God made each of us with a special purpose. He knows what he wants us to do with our lives. It's fine to make mistakes and not know what to do. But don't forget that God gives us our worth and value. He made us and loves us no matter what. So, let's remember that we are loved, valued, and have a purpose.

    This lesson reminds me that our existence has a deeper meaning beyond just living for ourselves. We were created to glorify God in everything we do, from our smallest actions to our biggest choices. It’s comforting to know that God designed us to have a personal relationship with Him and not just to exist aimlessly. Serving and obeying God brings true peace and direction, especially when we align our lives with His purpose. Loving God and others makes life more meaningful because it reflects His love through us. In the end, our purpose is to live faithfully, care for His creation, and reign with Him in eternity.

God made us so we can share love, do good things, and help those in need. We are not here by accident; God has a plan for each of us. When we follow His teachings, we find true happiness and peace. Even when life is hard, God uses those moments to make us stronger. In simple words, God’s purpose in man’s existence is to love, serve, and do good. We are here to make the world better and to show God’s love through our actions every day.

    God's purpose for man's existence
    Sa aking pag kakaunawa Ang ating buhay ay may meaning kapag tayo ay naglilingkod at sumusunod sa kanyang utos. Ang pamumuhay na may takot sa diyos ay nag papakita na naiintindihan at nauunawaan natin ang kanyang layunin para sa atin. Tayo ay nilikha Ng diyos Hindi lamang para mabuhay, kundi para magbigay kaluwaltihan sa kanya. Sa bawat ginagawa natin maging sa pagkain, pagtratrabaho, o pakikitungo sa kapwa dapat Makita Ng iba Ang kabutihan at pag-ibig Ng diyos sa atin.
    Sa huli, Tayo ay ginawang katiwala Ng kanyang nilikha. Ibinigau Niya sa atin Ang tungkuling pangalagaan Ang Mundo at mamuhay Ang may pananagutan.

    There are moments when we start doubting our own worth, when it feels like no one notices or appreciates us. Sometimes we tell ourselves, “Maybe I’m not enough,” or “I don’t have any purpose.” But the truth is, God made each of us for a special reason. He already knows the person He wants us to become. It’s normal to make mistakes or feel lost along the way, but we should always remember that our true worth comes from Him. God created us out of love and continues to love us no matter what. So let’s never forget, we are loved, valued, and created with a beautiful purpose.

    GOD’S PURPOSE FOR THE MAN’S EXISTENCE

    REFLECTION:
    God has a beautiful and clear vision for us, which was to worship Him, communicate with Him, serve Him, and love not only Him but also others. By contemplating these truths, I can see that God’s way is the only way that humans can find the real meaning of life. His glory makes all actions, words, and thoughts very important.
    The God is not merely a matter of rule and following but rather a daily close and personal walking with Him, talking to Him, trusting Him, and allowing His love to take over our hearts. Serving and obeying God are not hardships but rather peaceful and joyful calling. Loving others is also a token of God’s love within us, it is a reminder that we are His instruments of grace and mercy in the world.
    Ultimately, life is not a matter of victory, popularity, or money, but rather a matter of conducting oneself in a way that pleases God and manifesting His presence through our love, service, and lifestyle. When we live according to His intention, we experience real happiness and the understanding of our creation.

    GOD'S PURPOSE FOR THE MAN'S EXISTENCE

    REFLECTION
    God created man with a clear and loving purpose—to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him. Our existence is not an accident; it is part of His divine plan. Each of us has been given life so that we may reflect His goodness through our actions, our love for others, and our care for the world He made.

    Sometimes, we may feel lost or question our purpose, but when we turn to God, we are reminded that our true reason for living is to glorify Him in all that we do. Life becomes meaningful when we live not only for ourselves but also for God and others. Understanding this helps us find peace, direction, and joy, knowing that we are part of something greater—God’s eternal plan of love.

    The lesson explains that God created humans to bring glory to Him by reflecting His good qualities, build a relationship with Him, serve and obey Him by following His rules, love Him and others deeply, and manage the world He made with His authority. By doing these things, people can fulfill God's plan and find meaning in their lives.
