How To Walk In God's Purposes

Jesus has a purpose for you. His specific purpose for you is summed up in these words: To know Him, love Him, and glorify Him.

So, how do you walk in God’s purposes?

It begins by having a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus.  Unless you have been born-again, having repented of your sins and trusting Jesus Christ for your salvation, the rest cannot be accomplished.  So, that is the starting point.

After that, loving God and glorifying Him in your life is accomplished by following Jesus daily by faith.  That endeavor involves reading His Word to understand His desires for your life.  It includes talking to Him regularly and seeking His wisdom and direction in all you do.  It means pursuing pleasing Him above yourself and others.  These are just some of the ways to accomplish God’s purposes for you.

Always remember that God created you in His image for His glory.  He is never after behavior modification but your heart.  Also, Jesus is never out to hurt you or make your life miserable.  He came to give you “life and life more abundantly” (John 10:10).

Do you know Jesus personally?  Are you glorifying Him in your life?  If not, what is stopping you?
