THE PURPOSE OF BELIEVERS’ LIVES (2)
INTRODUCTION
Every person has of course different goals in life, for example: wanting to be successful, having a high position and much more.
But the purpose of our life in the Lord is not just about physical things.
Because from the moment the Lord created man, He already has wonderful plans and purposes for man.
Therefore, the Lord desires that we live in His plan.
So, the purpose of our lives is not according to our own will, but we are to live for the Lord.
CONTENT
The purpose of our lives is to have a greater knowledge of our God (Philippians 3:8).
So far, we may only know who Jesus is, but the most important thing is to know His perfect Personality.
Jesus is an extraordinary person for us, He is Jesus in whom we can trust. Therefore, as long as we live, let us have knowledge of Him.
The purpose of our lives is to glorify God's name.
It is written in Matthew 5:16 that our lives can be a blessing to others and that we are the salt and light of the world, so that wherever we are, our lives can have an impact on others.
If we are willing to surrender ourselves to the Lord, He will use us as His instruments.
The purpose of our life in this world is to produce fruit for God (Philippians 1:21), especially the fruit of the Spirit.
Wherever the Lord places us, it is an opportunity for us to bear fruit for Christ (John 15:7-8).
Our lives must also be led by the Spirit to produce the fruit of the Spirit.
CONCLUSION
Let us live only to please God, so that His plans will be fulfilled for us. Live for Christ forever. Amen!
