What
is God’s purpose for us?
- God wants everyone to have a close,
lasting relationship with Him.
- He created us with the ability to
make choices. Although God is
active in every phase of our existence, we are not robots.
- We have a choice to love, praise, honor,
glorify and obey God or to do our own thing.
- God wants us to love Him supremely
and choose to follow His desires as found in The Bible.
- One of the ways we can show God how much
we love Him is to worship Him by being obedient, thanking Him for all He
provides and singing His praises.
- Another desire that God has for us is
to become more like Him every day.
He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to provide us with the Free Gift of eternal life
and to show us how to live more abundantly.
- God also wants us to serve other
Christians and our community. He
asks us to contribute our time and resources to the work of His Church,
the “body of Christ” here on earth.
Since He owns everything and every moment we have is given to us
by His grace, we should strongly desire to give something back to
Him. We cannot "out
give" God. He pours out
blessings on His children.
- When we accept the Free Gift of heaven and
eternal life we will naturally want to tell others about how they
can enjoy a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. God has directed us to spread His Word
throughout the world beginning in our own backyard.
- God can do anything He wants to do
that is in keeping with His character.
He could send angels to tell other about Jesus or minister to the
poor. But He has chosen to work
through us. What a great privilege
it is to be a partner with God.
- God desires that we be in the world
but not “of” the world.
Christians are called to think and behave differently than those
who do not call Jesus Christ their Lord.
Christians
should live holy lives, worship God, grow in their faith
serve
the community, serve the church and spread
the
Good News about Jesus to the world,
starting with their friends, family
and neighbors.
