The Goal of Life

TGIF « Marketplace Leaders:

“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe…”(Ephesians 1:17-19).

Knowing Christ brings the only real meaning and purpose to the human soul. Spend time today getting to know the Lord in a more intimate way. Then you will discover real meaning and purpose in life."

It's interesting how we are excited, thankful beyond description, or feel completely indebted to Christ for our salvation on the day we accept Christ as Lord and Savior. Our eyes firmly fixed on Christ or are they really?

I'm not calling into question your salvation or mine, only making a point from another direction. We know Christ has filled the void of our life, placed the stopper in the hole of our life which can't be filled with stuff. Yet, we continue to seek to find fulfillment without looking daily to our source.

When we decided to accept Christ as Lord and Savior for our life, salvation isn't the only thing we needed. We also need to seek His direction for our life, daily. As Christ is the only one who can provide us with eternal salvation. He is the only way we will find true fulfillment in this life.

Fulfilling the purposes and mission of Christ by glorifying our Father is the goal. This goal will provide us with the daily fulfillment we seek. Being used by God as the image of Christ to reach the lost, bring comfort to those in need and provide as we can to those who are without. These things glorify God and and bring fulfillment in this life.

God has blessed each of us with different abilities and gifts. We each touch lives and glorify God in ways that no other person can. Each person plays a specific role in the body of Christ and in the kingdom. Seek to do your part with your eyes firmly fixed on Christ.

Blessings and Peace
