The purposes of God!

“That in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.” Ephesians 1:10

You can look at the purposes of God from a global perspective or as an individual who believes in God.

The global view of God is impossible for you and I to gasp. God will defeat all evil in the heavens and earth and every living creature will bow down and worship Christ Jesus.

So as a mere mortal who came out of dust and will return to dust what is God’s plan for you? The priority of God is for you to accept the gift of eternal life and live with your Creator. This is the starting and ending point with God.

The gift of eternal life begins the process of transforming you from your natural state into a new creature in Christ Jesus. You literally take on the life of Jesus and begin to live through His personality and value system.

As a believer, God’s purpose is for you to trust Him implicitly and walk by faith believing God calls things that don’t exist as if they did. You cannot please God or enter into His kingdom without faith.

Your faith will begin like a mustard seed and blossom to the point where nothing can deter you or cause you to doubt the greatness and glory of God.

Simply, the purpose of God is for you to be a bright light shining in the darkness touching people with the love of God. Forget about the works and religion and focus on living in oneness with God through the power of the Holy Spirit.

I can share with you the precepts of God like do good, avoid evil, seek peace, and walk humbly with your Creator. Unfortunately you and I cannot keep these precious laws of God. The awareness of a “born again” believer is to recognize his weakness and corrupted inner being and to draw upon the blood and resurrected life of the Son of God.

You have a unique personality, strengths and weaknesses, and natural talents. God looks at the essence of your being and fashions a handcrafted plan to give you an abundant life and to use you as His light proclaiming the renown, praise, and glory of God.

The work of God will take many years so you have to learn to be patient and wait upon God. My encouragement is for you to get to know the Living God and invite Him to live with you in a moment by moment relationship. Forget the big picture and find Him today!

He loves you!
