“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8.28 NKJV).
Now that we understand our Position in God, we can examine our Purpose in God. To have a Purpose on earth is vital to our daily living. The Bible says that if we don’t have a vision for our lives, we (our destinies) will perish. We have to know that our lives have meaning and that we fulfill a valuable service on earth. The work we do must earn us more than a paycheck. It must fulfill our very real and strong desire to feel valuable, needed and prosperous. God is a creative God, and He has a creative Purpose for each of His children.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he” (Proverbs 29.18 KJV).
We have been created to do the will of God which will produce good works in our lives that line up with His Greater Kingdom Plan. Our Purpose is what keeps us walking by faith and trusting and relying on God in everything we do. Many times, God calls us to stretch our comfort zones and do things that scare us or seem impossible, and the reason we overcome our fears and make a leap of faith is that our Purpose draws us to continue despite feeling inadequate or not knowing the outcome.
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2.10 NKJV).
When we get to Heaven we will be judged not by our sins because they have been cleansed by the Blood of Jesus. However, we will be judged based on what we did with the gifts and talents God wove into our nature in order to accomplish the Purpose He has for us. This Purpose will always serve the needs of others and quench our thirst for a life of meaning. When we obey in work according to God’s will for us, we will one day hear Jesus say, “Well done!”
“The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’” (Matthew 25.23 NLT).
