A Lie to Reject “We are born to eat drink and be merry” A Truth to Embrace “Our very purpose for living is to honor and glorify God.”

The Biblical argument: Galatians 6:8 – Life is a choice. II Corinthians 5:17,18 – the transformed life is a work of God II Corinthians 3:18 – the goal is Christ-likeness. II Peter 1:3-4 – “partakers of the divine nature” Ephesians 1:4,5 – your transformation give God “great pleasure”

“Our very purpose for living is to honor and glorify God.” We were created to: 1.Live contented lives of joy 2. To know the gratifying joy of acceptance, approval and appreciation with the ability to freely love and be loved. 3. To experience fulfillment and satisfaction beyond measure, contentment and peace beyond understanding and complete joy.

“ Our very purpose for living is to honor and glorify God” The logical arguments: Multiple millions of lives over the course of history stand out as a testimony to the God of redemption who transforms lives. A New York gang leader - Nicky Cruz An addict and alcoholic - Rich Bucha A searching physicist - Lambert Dolphin A medical scientist - Dr. Francis Collins An imprisoned thief - Leo D'Arcangelo

“ Life Change ” “If we truly believe that o ur very purpose for living is to honor and glorify God... We will: 1. Discover the new person we are in Christ and act accordingly. 2. Realize the process isn’t so much in learning to do all the right things perfectly as it is learning who Christ is and acting according to our new nature. 3. Accept who you are in Christ.

Who am I? Ephesians 1 I am blessed with every spiritual blessing (1:3). I was chosen before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in God's sight. (1:4) I was chosen to be adopted as his child through Christ (1:5). I have redemption through his blood (1:7).

Who am I? Ephesians 1 I am forgiven (1:7). I have received an eternal inheritance from God (1:11). I am identified as God’s own by receiving the Holy Spirit (1:13) Excerpt From: Josh McDowell & Sean McDowell. “The Unshakable Truth™.” Harvest House Publishers. iBooks.

Who am I? Ephesians 2 I am alive in Christ (2:5). I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realms (2:6). I am an example of God’s grace (2:7). I am saved by his grace (2:8). I am God’s masterpiece (2:10) I belong to Christ (2:13). I have direct access to God through the Spirit (2:18)

Becoming a "one another" Christian “Because we are redeemed, justified, sanctified, and adopted into God’s family, we are holy in our standing with God. That enables us to live his love out in relationship to others” “Love is making the security, happiness, and welfare of another person as important as your own"

Becoming a "one another" Christian 1. Love one another (John 13:34). 2. Accept one another (Romans 15:7). 3. Forgive one another (Ephesians 4:32) 4. Be gentle to one another (Ephesians 4:2). 5. Be clothed in humility toward one another (1 Peter 5:5). 6. Weep with one another (Romans 12:15).

The Who Am I list and the Becoming a “one another” Christian list are excerpted from Josh McDowell & Sean McDowell. “The Unshakable Truth™.” Harvest House Publishers. iBooks.
