What is your purpose as a Christian? Why has God placed you on earth?

The Bible often refers to God using people in specific services or ministries. For instance, Paul indicates he was called by God to be a missionary, and the Old Testament priests were called by God to their priestly duties.

God has chosen each of us for a particular purpose. When we become aware of and follow God’s will, we live out God’s purpose. But we sometimes have trouble discerning what work God has placed us on earth to do for Him.
