“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:10
Here are my thoughts today inspired by the Holy Spirit about the purpose of life for a Christ follower:
The purpose of life is to glorify Christ Jesus in your thoughts, words, and actions.
Live grounded in God through prayer, the Word, and yielding to His Spirit. For in Him we live and move and have our being.
Come to know the suffering, death and resurrected life of Christ Jesus.
Knowing Jesus is more important than trying to serve Him. Serving Jesus can easily distract you from His purposes.
Live in harmony with Jesus by worshipping Him in Spirit and Truth. Be still and know that I am God!
The bedrock of your relationship with Jesus is living by faith believing in His Word and not what you see with your eyes.
The gift of eternal life is “Christ in you” and is like a fountain of Living Water springing up to everlasting life.
You cannot grasp the grandeur of God but you can live with Him through His Spirit. That they may be one even as we are one!
The greatest honor you can give to God is inviting Him to fill up your flesh with the afflictions lacking in Christ for His Body the Church. This is the act of sacrificing yourself to be an intercessor for God and allowing Him to work through your Spirit to set those free living in bondage to sin.
My purposes are eternal!
