Purpose
Purpose in Scripture is rooted in being made in God's image, called to know and reflect him, and given work to do in his creation. The Bible does not offer a "life-purpose" curriculum but keeps returning to creation, calling, and the glory of God as the horizon for every life. Meaning is located not in self-invention but in the Maker's assignment (Ephesians 2:10).
