A New Purpose

Our new life also comes with a new purpose. At one time our goals were to “eat, drink and be merry.” These are no longer the purpose. Our only desire now is, “let your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” In other words we partner with God to make earth more like heaven and people more like Jesus.

Our new life’s mindset causes us to view everyone around us as people whom God loves and for whom Jesus died. Seeing everyone as loved by God and forgiven through the cross of Jesus Christ, we seek to reconcile those around us.

Our new life’s message changes our words and deeds. Everything we say and do is an expression and extension of the Kingdom of God on earth. Rather than attaining temporal worldly benefits and impressing people, we desire that people might come into the Kingdom—and experience heaven on earth.

Life in the Kingdom is not an abstract concept. It is a real life experience for all who are in Christ. Choose to live in the reality of the Kingdom everyday and everywhere. Invite everyone to join us in experiencing this new life.

Prayer: Dear Father, help me to be clear on my purpose to proclaim Your name to the nations and empower me to witness the Kingdom of God to my family, friends and the community. Remove any distractions and inhibitions that I may have so that I can invite all those who need Your love. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done! In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
