“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give
diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye
shall never fall” (2 Peter 1:10)
Many live
their lives without ever knowing their reason for being. There’s no life more
frustrating than one lived without purpose. As Christians, we have a
responsibility in Christ, and we must be consistently conscious of that
responsibility. We’re the ones to influence those in our sphere of contact and
win our world to Christ. That’s our purpose and reason for being.
The Bible
says, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling
the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:19). This is God’s purpose
for our lives. He has committed to us the ministry of reconciliation. Thus the
reason we live is for the salvation of the souls of men.
Jesus knew
His reason for coming. He declared in John 10:10, “…I am come
that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” He was so clear about His purpose, and He
didn’t just articulate it; He also lived it.
Understand
your purpose in life and stay focused on it. Real fulfillment comes when you
discover and live in God’s purpose for your life.
