Why has God put you here on earth? First, to bring you to an awareness of Him, so you will want to turn your back on sin and choose to believe on Him so you can spend Eternity in Heaven.
God, the Creator of All, loves YOU. He gives you opportunity to choose to believe.
God, the Creator of All, loves YOU. He gives you opportunity to choose to believe.
How can you make that choice, and know that it is true?
You invite Jesus into your heart. Doesn’t have to be at church on Sunday . . . you can do this any place, any day, any time. But you must be sincere.
When you own up to your own weakness and sins then you talk to God in prayer. Receive Jesus. It’s amazing. According to the Bible, you are forgiven. You can be baptized.
Then, He will allow you to be part of His reaching out to others who need to hear the way of salvation so they can have a loving relationship with Him, too.
Sharing our life lessons with others is one way we can tell others about God’s grace.
“Be wise in the way you act towards outsiders;
make the most of every opportunity.”
(Colossians 4:5 NIV).
We are not expected to do this by our own abilities, clever arguments, or even heartfelt sincerity. God will enable and empower us by His Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:8). Be thankful for this!
Life is not meant to be a string of confusing and frustrating episodes without purpose or meaning. Find out what God has been doing in your life, then ask Him to show you how to make the most out of what you’ve got. Picture yourself hearing the awesome words, “Well done, good and faithful friend. Enter into the joy of My eternal presence.” (taken from Jesus’ words in Matthew 25:21, John 3:15 and John 15:14).
So, what do you know? Do you know this?
