Ian WarnerThe one thing life guarantees us all is death. It can be hard to wake up everyday and work towards anything knowing that its all essentially for nothing. Why care about anything or place your hope in anyone when in a flash it can all be over. Death comes with no warning and it leaves you asking “whats the point of life?”
The point of life can feel so elusive. As you get older, the things that matter to you can begin to change and it can almost make the last decade of your life seem pointless. How do you make sure that moving forward, you are only chasing things that matter?

What is The Point of Life?
Even if you believe in God
and know that you’re going to heaven afterward, there is still a huge problem. That problem is what do you do with this life? If heaven is the best place you can be, how do you operate day to day in such a broken world?
You are here for a reason but its not always easy to figure out what that reason. One of the most fulfilling things you can do is figure out what you believe and then get other people to believe the same thing.
In the Christian faith, this is called evangelizing or sharing the gospel. Maybe you develop a philosophy about winning and how you play basketball like Michael Jordan and spend your life spread and teaching that. You need something you believe in so much that you want to share it with the world.
All you know for sure is the moment. The past is gone and you don’t know what the future entails, but you have this moment. You have the very second right infront of you that you can use to choose a direction.
Other people are going to have different ways of responding to this question. This question is not about them. Its about you, because you can’t just steal another persons purpose and make it yours. You have to figure out what is for you.
- Stay in the moment
- Believe in something so much that you want to tell other people
- Everyone has a different response to this question
Never Lose Hope
A strong word of caution. Many people who suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts struggle with this very question. Its ok to ask “What is the point of life?” Problems begin when the search for that answer turns into despair. The second you lose hope, you give into this question and your answer is that its all pointless.
Its understandable that you may have not have found your purpose, but never believe that one is not out there for you. Everything happens in its own timing but God is always on time with these matters. Some people change the world at a young age, others don’t get started until they are much older but that does not mean that their roles does not matter.
The world needs what you have to offer!
You were made with a specfici purpose in mind and that’s what you are the way you are.

- Just becaue you have not found meaning does not mean you won’t
- You have a spceific purpose
