“THE PURPOSE FILLED LIFE”
Everyone has a purpose in life. The difference in everyone’s purpose in the present is what we choose for our purpose to be. For instance, some folks want their purpose to be nothing more than self-existence. In other words, they want no responsibilities, no expectations from anyone else, and they just wish their purpose to be, self-existence. Others believe their purpose is their relationship to their spouse, their children, or maybe to their friends. Some have reduced their purpose down to nothing more than pleasure seeking; Once they find that which brings the most pleasure, that become their sole purpose in life.
The true definition of purpose filled cannot be divorced from Christ in one’s life. In Christ, the full embodiment of God almighty exists. Paul said in Colossians 1:19, 20— “19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” Everything that makes the world go around is found in the fulness of Christ.
Jesus is very rigid in His teaching and preaching. What is so rigid about it? Well, Truth is rigid. Truth has no room for error. Truth is truth and nothing can change truth from being truth and Christ Jesus is truth and all that He has ever spoken is true, and everything He has ever done has been true, and Jesus said with His own mouth: “6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) That is the boldest and most exclusive statement ever uttered, and it is TRUE!
We will never live a life full of purpose apart from Christ and His truth! We must consecrate ourselves to Him at whatever cost is necessary. He is the embodiment of purpose and if we are in Him, we too shall live a life full of purpose. He calls us to love Him, serve Him, and share Him to the world. There is no greater purpose in life that anyone could ever have! With God’s help, we can live our allotted years on this earth with purpose, Christ is that purpose!
