“That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:7(KJV)
God wants to use you as a display of His kindness. To show how favorable and generous He is. He wants your life to be a demonstration of His generosity. That's the way God wants your life to be. He wants to use you to draw others to Himself, so that in the ages to come He might show in us the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness towards us through Christ Jesus.
A lot of people do not know that when we ask them to be born again, we are trying to bring them into the kindness of God. Even some people who are saved don't know that God brought them to salvation to display His kindness to them and through them.
Ephesians 2:8-10 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
That means that until a man is born again He cannot enter into God's will for His life. When you get born again, the Bible calls you the workmanship of God. That means, you are the product of God created in Christ Jesus to do good works.
You were created by God to do good works. That is what He planned your life for. Yet, some people do not know that until you are born again, the life you are living is a wasted life. It is as though you never lived, because the essence of life is purpose. So to live your life outside of God's purpose for you is to live a wasted life.
Purpose preserves life. Moses was a carrier of God's vision, he was a custodian of God's dream, therefore, he could not be killed. Same thing with you, if you have found your purpose for existence, and you are living in God's dream for your life, you cannot be killed.
PRAYER
Thank you Father for giving me a life of purpose. I ask that as I live my life each day in your purpose, I am preserved from all evil and from wicked and unreasonable men. In Jesus Name. Amen.
For further study read:
Joshua 1:2-5, Acts 18:9-10, Acts 27:21-25, Genesis 28:15.
DOING THE WORD
Fearlessly go about your purpose, doing all that God has put in your heart. He is with you to keep you from all evil.
