Man’s Purpose is Not Usually God’s Purpose

purpose

“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began”
–2TIMOTHY 1:9

Most spend the greater part of their lives aligning their life with the purposes of the world.

NOT God’s purpose, but the world’s purposes–and it is God’s purpose which ultimately proves to be the most important.

Most believe it is man who determines his purpose in life–and beyond.

It is not.

“For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
–Romans 9:15

And so, God will save those who have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Despite the deceptions and allures of the world, one would hope that more of mankind would drift to this truth–if by nothing else, then by default.

HOWEVER, God’s purpose is to find a people who want to worship him SINCERELY.

NOT by default or as a result of drift.

“For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.”
–Ezekiel 34:11

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
