Its phenomenal appeal reminds us that believers and nonbelievers alike have a deep longing for a clear sense of purpose. We all want to know that our lives are involved in something worthwhile. Without a strong sense of calling and purpose, life is nothing more than routine busyness. Being a follower of Jesus gives us a distinct advantage when it comes to having a sense of purpose. The Westminster Catechism sums it up well when it says the "chief end of man" is to "glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." Glorifying God means putting His character, His will, and His ways into action in all that we do. The apostle Paul reminded us that we "are being transformed into [Christ's] image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Cor. 3:18). The purpose of our lives is to let others see what God is like as they watch and experience His love through us. What a profound privilege it is to mirror God's love, mercy, grace, justice, and righteousness to a world whose heart is "veiled" to God's truth! (4:3-4). Our purpose is to show others less of us and more of Him. That's living on purpose with a purpose! -Joe Stowell <http://www.rbc.org/devotionals/our_daily_bread/writer/47539.aspx> So let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess, So let our words and virtues shine To prove the doctrine all divine. -Watts The Christian's purpose is to promote God's plan. ________________________________ "This e-mail (including any attachments) is intended solely for the addressee and could contain information that is confidential; If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any use, disclosure, copying or dissemination of this e-mail and any attachment is strictly prohibited and you should immediately delete it.
