-Living for the purposes of Jesus-
1 John 3:8b (New King James Version)
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the
works of the devil.
We have been speaking about living with purpose, and what greater purpose is
there than to live for God? The Bible reveals that we are now in Christ
Jesus through faith. This being true, we need to carry daily the same common
purposes in our life as He does in His. Think about it, we are in Christ, so
what He thinks, we should think, whtever He is passionate about and sees
purpose in, we should see passion and purpose in. Why? Because we are in
Him.
In today's verse we see one of the major purposes of Jesus is "to destroy
the works of Satan". We could call this purpose, "devil demolition". Jesus
loves to daily tear down anything and everything that the devil has spent
good time building up, and we should find fulfilment and satisfaction in
doing the same.
-1. In people lives – Let us be living daily to set other people free, be an
agent of liberty.-
-2. In our cities – living daily to see the downfall of satan's kingdom, and
the advancement of the kingdom of our God. Be an ambassador of grace.-
-3. In our world – living to take a stand for the truth of the Gospel. Stand
tall for the One you love, and be a display board of His truth and goodness
to a seeking world.-
We read yesterday that King David served His generation. We are not called
to serve any former generation, but we are called to the one we are in. This
is the one we can see changed as we daily live to serve the purposes of
God. As we do this we also effect the next generation by giving them a
great example and standard to follow as David did for us..
Live with purpose. Live for God!
