DAY 2

DEVOTIONAL – YOU WERE CREATED ON PURPOSE FOR A PURPOSE 

You are doing this study because I believe you are interested in leaving a lasting legacy. How do we go about that? To answer that question we first need to go through three fundamentals. Let us look at the first one today.

We have been created on purpose for a purpose.

A creator who had a design in mind created you. You are not here by chance or by an accident. You are not a mistake.

God chose us even before He said let there be light! Imagine that! God is a master planner and artisan. He does not waste his resources. He made you and chose you. 

That came at a high cost – the sacrifice of his precious son Jesus. Because of Adam’s sin, you were born with a sin nature that separated you from God. God’s desire was to reconcile humankind back to Him and He made a way through ’Jesus’ death on the cross- that one perfect sacrifice for all our sins.

This is critical to your purpose. Unless you are reconciled to your creator, you will never be free from a useless existence and you will not be able to begin to live this purposeful life and fulfill your God-given destiny here on the earth. 

You may say how you can call it useless. When you look at things from the vantage point of eternity what we consider important or purposeful changes.

As Christians, we too can live like this – carelessly, without vision/purpose and a revelation of why we are here on the Earth.  We can lose our way and live purposeless lives. Do not be fooled or dulled into complacent living.

Being born again is only just getting off the starting block of this eternal relay we are all running in. How then do we run this race? How do we find our purpose and how do we finish well and hand over to the next generation? 

We need to keep our first love burning hot for Jesus. We need to keep our gaze fixed on Him the author and perfector of our faith.
