The outcome of a relationship with Jesus Christ!

“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32

What is the real purpose of walking with God? You might be surprised to learn that it is not really about salvation or sanctification.

The underlying purpose of God is to call you into a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and to learn to live for Him.

Jesus wants your unwavering devotion to Him and to walk in oneness with His Spirit. You have to believe He is the author of life and draw upon His Living Water for your every need.

You have to allow God the right to crucify your old self and become willing to lose your life for His sake. You cannot be an effective witness for God until your heart is broken and you give up the right to yourself.

Jesus will show you that you are weak, unworthy, and empty of His life. This is the starting point to a relationship with God. You come to God as a broken and empty vessel and He redeems you from sin and gives you a new life. The redemption of God is not for your sake or to make you look good in the presence of others.

God has one purpose in your redemption! This purpose is for you to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to those around you.

This is accomplished by the Holy Spirit who fills you with the glory of God and the fruit of His Spirit. You become a beacon of light touching those around you. People see God in your demeanor, words, and actions. They want what you have—a supernatural life empowered by the Living God.

The end result with God is not about results or success. It is your obedience to His voice and living moment by moment with the Son of God!

Thought for the day:

“You must be born again to to be My disciple! I will meet you where you are today and give you My life. I have to become the most important priority in your life and you need to have a willing and open heart to follow My ways.”
