To me, evolution is one of the saddest theories ever embraced by man. It is a theory of hopelessness. It says we have no purpose in being here; we are a random act of nature, a happenstance, a fluke, an accident. And because we are a random act, a fluke, there is no purpose for us.
God’s Word gives me hope. From God’s Word I learn that I was created with purpose, to know, to love, to serve the living God. I was created to worship my Creator, to live a life worthy of Him. That is my purpose as a child of my Creator.
I also have another purpose … as a child of my Father, one who was saved and adopted into His family as His daughter. That purpose is what Paul declares in Colossians 1:28, to “proclaim him [Christ], admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.”
Not only do we have purpose as children of our Creator; we have purpose as children of our Father. That purpose is to bring others into the family, to introduce them to the Savior of their soul.
We are not a random act of creation; neither are we a random act of salvation. It was not a fluke that we were brought into this world; neither is it a fluke that we were brought into the family of God. Let us live our lives always with Godly purpose.
