People have long been searching for the purpose of their existence, and Dr. Myles Munroe provides an answer to this age-old quest.
Purpose for Existence
In one of the interviews with the late renowned minister, he revealed the reason behind men’s existence. According to Dr. Myles, the answer is simple and can be found at the beginning of the Bible.
He said, “The answer is not complicated because the answer was given already. God told us exactly why He created us. He also told us our assignment.”
Munroe then referred to Genesis 1:26 to further support his point.
Genesis 1:26 says, “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.'”
“[God] said, ‘Let us make man in Our own image,’ so that’s the nature and character of the creature,” Munroe explained. “But He says here’s why, to let them have dominion over the earth.”
“There’s no mystery. The answer is there. So, we were created by God and placed on the planet to dominate the earth on behalf of God.”
He added, “We are here sent from our heavenly home to colonize earth with the kingdom of heaven.”
Moreover, Myles pointed out that Christians are citizens of the Kingdom of God, with Jesus serving as their King. He explained that the Bible functions as a constitution of laws and a legal document, guaranteeing all the promises that the Kingdom offers to its citizens.
“If you treat the Bible a religious book, you won’t get the effect God intended,” he said. “That’s why the Bible is called the law of God, not the devotions of God.”
