Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.

[Godscreated]

I'm using it because I mean it. If you live only to serve yourself, then you don't have any desire to help others in a way that would cause yourself to suffer. I see self-serving people as being selfish people. The fact that we might do something for ourselves doesn't make us self-serving, but it's when that becomes the focus of our lives. The focus of a christian's life is serving God and, in following his teachings we also serve others. Loving God also means loving others.

What makes you think that you don't only serve yourself? Your entire life revolves around how you appear in your god's eyes so you can look like a holy servant. Your life is just as self-serving as anyone else's, because every action you take is to craft a self-image.

This is where you fail to know and understand God, we understand He already knows and we understand we can't hide anything from Him. So we do not need to try and put up a false front for God, it would do no good. In actuality we as Christians are to allow Jesus to make us who we need to be for Him and others, our self importance is to be put aside for the good of all.
