The Purpose of Every Believer

When we come to Christ, we declare war on our selfish, fallen human desires.

We realize that our life's purposes have changed. We aren't saved simply so we can get to heaven. We're saved for earthly purposes as well.

Our new calling includes:

Holiness:
Titus 2:14: He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.  See also Ephesians 1:4.

Good Works:
Ephesians 2:10: we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. See also 1 Peter 4:11.

To Bring Glory to God:
Matthew 5:16: let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. See also 1 Peter 2:12, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and 1 Corinthians 10:31.

This last purpose sums up all other purposes in our lives. Let's glorify God, dear Christians!
