“For He (Christ) chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined us for adoption to son-ship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will.” Ephesians 1:4-5.

What is the ultimate meaning of life?
What is life’s highest calling or purpose? 
Is it the call to work in public service?

Maybe it’s a career in the military, protecting our nation and preserving our freedom.
Perhaps it’s serving in law enforcement or as a public school teacher or saving lives in the medical field.

Is it being a pastor or missionary?
Maybe it’s not a profession, but to be a parent?

According to Jesus-
– life’s ultimate purpose is actually none of the above.

Life’s ultimate calling is to follow Jesus.
Nothing else comes close.

Don’t miss this:

Jesus is the initiator.
In other words, no one really discovers God on their own.
Jesus is the one who extends the call.

Jesus came for everyone 2 Peter 3:9.
This doesn’t mean that everyone will choose to accept Jesus and to be saved, but the call is extended to everyone.

If you don’t have a relationship with Christ-
Jesus is calling you to follow Him – today.

God’s Word says that whoever believes in Him and trusts in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16.
Christ is calling each and every person to follow Him. However, we all have a choice.

Are you going to trust Him? 
Are you going to look to Jesus as the ultimate calling in life?

Because until you do-
– you’ll continue to look for meaning and purpose in things that can never truly satisfy.

So, what’s the ultimate meaning of life?
To love and follow Christ.
Everything else falls short.
