Hello Everyone,
WE WERE CHOSEN IN CHRIST FOR A PURPOSE
Ephesians 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
Why are you here? What’s your purpose in life? God didn’t save you in Jesus, just to look at you and admire you, like you are display in a museum case! What’s your purpose in life?

God has a purpose for your life.
Did you know what your purpose in life was while you were still in high school? I didn’t.
Did you know what your purpose in life was while you were still in high school? I didn’t.
I didn’t have a clue other than knowing that I had to
go to work.
That was something that was either taught or caught
in my home. Mom and dad worked hard and they expected us children to
work.
Beyond work, I really
didn’t know what life was all about.
DID YOU? You might have had some idea about your real purpose in life if you were raised by Christian parents.
Rick Warren, in his book, THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE, wrote, “Contrary to what many popular books, movies, and seminars tell you, you won’t discover your life’s meaning by looking within yourself. You didn’t create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for!”
Colossians 1:15-16 The Message Bible reads: “For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.”
Do you get the picture? Our purpose in life is not that we are here for us, but rather we are here for Him, to know Him, to please Him, to live for Him, to live for His GLORY! We are: God’s possession—to the praise of His glory.
Colossians 3:1-4 “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”

Christ is our life!
I Corinthians 10:31 “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
We have been chosen for a purpose and that purpose is to LIVE for Christ, and for His GLORY no matter what we choose for our life’s work or whom we marry, etc.

He is God in the flesh and He alone gives the
promise of eternal life. He alone gives
purpose and meaning to life!
CONCLUSION:
We are chosen in Christ. We are God’s chosen people and it’s all because of Jesus.

Life is about knowing our Creator and we can
only come to know Him through Jesus. Jesus came to SHOW us the Father.
And He came to seek and to save the lost.
John 10:10 “I have come that they might have life and
have it more abundantly.” There is nothing better!
Greater Things Are Still To Come!
