What is your purpose in life?

Christian’s Purpose Ec. 12:13-14 Ec. 12:13-14 fear God, keep commands Matt. 6:33 Matt. 6:33 seek God first Mk. 12:30 Mk. 12:30 love God Rom. 12:1-2 Rom. 12:1-2 living sacrifice, holy The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil (Ec. 12:13-14). "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (Matt. 6:33). And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength’ (Mk. 12:30). Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship (Rom. 12:1).

Christian’s Purpose Ec. 12:13-14 Ec. 12:13-14 fear God, keep commands Matt. 6:33 Matt. 6:33 seek God first Mk. 12:30 Mk. 12:30 love God Rom. 12:1-2 Rom. 12:1-2 living sacrifice, holy

Leading others to Christ Living testimony (light) Encouraging brethren 1 Th. 5:11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;... by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love (Eph. 4:11-12, 16). and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near (Heb. 10:24-25).

Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed (1 Tim. 6:17-19). So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith (Gal. 6:10). Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world (Ja. 1:27).
