Have You Found Your Purpose
Is it just to procreate so another
generation can carry on a
meaningless existence?
Ephesians 1:11 In Him also we have obtained an
inheritance, being predestined according to the
purpose of Him who works all things according to
the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first
trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His
glory.
Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were
created that are in heaven and that are on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or principalities or powers. All things
were created through Him and for Him.
Revelation 4:11 "You are worthy, O Lord, To
receive glory and honor and power; For You
created all things, And by Your will they exist and
were created."
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with
every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy
and without blame before Him in love, 5 having
predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus
Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure
of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His
grace, by which He has made us accepted in the
Beloved.
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I
knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations."
2 Corinthians 5:18 Now all things are of God, who
has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ,
and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the
world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to
them, and has committed to us the word of
reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God were pleading through
us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be
reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who
knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might
become the righteousness of God in Him.
1 Peter 1:22 Since you have purified your souls in
obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere
love of the brethren, love one another fervently
with a pure heart, 23 having been born again,
not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through
the word of God which lives and abides forever,
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most
assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God." 4 Nicodemus
said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is
old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's
womb and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Most
assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of
water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom
of God. 6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7
"Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be
born again.'
Romans 6:3 Or do you not know that as many of
us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were
baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were
buried with Him through baptism into death, that
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life. 5 ¶ For if we have been united
together in the likeness of His death, certainly we
also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with
Him, that the body of sin might be done away
with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7
For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we
shall also live with Him,
John 13:15 "For I have given you an example,
that you should do as I have done to you. 16
"Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not
greater than his master; nor is he who is sent
greater than he who sent him.
Matthew 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A
city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 "Nor
do they light a lamp and put it under a basket,
but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who
are in the house. 16 "Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father in heaven.
Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised with
Christ, seek those things which are above, where
Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set
your mind on things above, not on things on the
earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with
Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life
appears, then you also will appear with Him in
glory. 5 ¶ Therefore put to death your members
which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness,
passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is
idolatry. 6 Because of these things the wrath of
God is coming upon the sons of disobedience,
7 in which you yourselves once walked when you
lived in them. 8 But now you yourselves are to
put off all these: anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9
Do not lie to one another, since you have put off
the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on
the new man who is renewed in knowledge
according to the image of Him who created him,
11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian,
Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.
12 ¶ Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and
beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness,
humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing
with one another, and forgiving one another, if
anyone has a complaint against another; even as
Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But
above all these things put on love, which is the
bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God
rule in your hearts, to which also you were called
in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of
Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching
and admonishing one another in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in
your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God
the Father through Him. 18 ¶ Wives, submit to
your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19
Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter
toward them. 20 Children, obey your parents in
all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. 21
Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they
become discouraged. 22 Bondservants, obey in
all things your masters according to the flesh, not
with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity
of heart, fearing God.
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the
Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the
Lord you will receive the reward of the
inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. 25 But
he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has
done, and there is no partiality.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand that we should walk in
them.
Matthew 20:27 "And whoever desires to be first
among you, let him be your slave -- 28 "just as
the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."
Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 "teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
1 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in
the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all
men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of
the truth.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His
promise, as some count slackness, but is
longsuffering toward us, not willing that any
should perish but that all should come to
repentance.
Are you fulfilling your purpose in life?
Are you doing what God created you to do or are
you just enjoying the life He gave you?
Are you living a life of service or just believing
doctrine and attending services?
