REVIEW
Last week we were reminded that God called each us for a purpose.
He wants us to live a life of significance—not just survive, or be successful; but, to make a difference and leave a legacy that portrays a life that made a difference as a result of walking with Jesus Christ.
As I reviewed last week, I realized I failed to cover the the last of the “4 things” knowing your purpose does for us.
Reduces frustration
Increases motivation
Enables a more focused life
Prepares us to face God
the last was the one I missed...
Prepare us to face God
There are 3 basic facts we know about the Christian Life:
1. God made each of us for a purpose, because He doesn’t make anything without a purpose.
2. God invested each of us with certain talents, abilities, and gifts.
He placed within us desires, interests, and abilities He expects us to use to fulfill our purpose for existence.One day God is going to ask for a return on His investment in us!
3. Someday I will die and God will ask me how I used the resources He provided to me.
God expects a return on each investment.
He didn’t just give us talents, abilities, and gifts to waste on ourselves.
He wants you to use them for the purpose He designed them for!
The Message
10 Sooner or later we’ll all have to face God, regardless of our conditions.
We will appear before Christ and take what’s coming to us as a result of our actions, either good or bad.
Judgment seat: place where the Judge decides!
One day God’s going to do an audit on your life.
He going to give you a Final Exam!
I believe at least 3 questions will on the final exam...
1. “What did you do with My Son, Jesus Christ?” He’s not going to ask what denomination you were.
He’s not going to ask if I’m a Baptist, Catholic, a Buddhist, Moslem, Mormon or Jew! He’s going to ask in some form, “What did you do with My Son, Jesus Christ?”
Did you ask Him to rescue you from sin? Surrender to Him as Lord and Savior?
Bend you knee to Him, worship Him, acknowledge Him as God? Did your life reflect the relationship you claim?
Jesus came so we could have a relationship with Him.
Have you accept Jesus Christ into your life and heart, and develop a relationship with Him as Lord, Savior, Boss, CEO!”
2. The second question He’s going to ask is, “What did you do with all the talents, abilities, and gifts I gave you?
Did you just spend it on yourself or did you use it for the purpose I created you for?
“What did you do with what I gave you?”
3. I think there may be a third question God may ask.
“How did you treat my people?”
When I search Scripture I find God is in the business of forgiveness and restoration.
Too often the Church today is in the business of judgment and rejection!
Notice Paul says: "you who are spiritual…" This automatically disqualifies many people today!
Those who are SPIRITUAL are further defined so there is no confusion; they walk in the Spirit, are filled with the Spirit, and show evidence of the fruit of the Spirit.
1) Walk in the Spirit
Must Be Clean - "ye who are spiritual"
This automatically disqualifies many people today!
Those who are SPIRITUAL will: 1) Walk in the Spirit
2) Be filled with the Spirit
3) Bear the Fruit of the Spirit
2) Be filled with the Spirit
3) Bear the Fruit of the Spirit
If this doesn't describe you, you have no business trying to "fix" someone else!
But if you walk in the Spirit (5:16) and possess the fruits of the Spirit that are described in (5:22-23) you are qualified.
You are not only qualified to participate in this ministry... YOU ARE COMMANDED TO!
For those who are qualified and ready to participate in the "Ministry of Restoration" you must ensure that you do it the right way!
However, if you walk in the Spirit, are filled with the Spirit, and show evidence of the the fruit of the Spirit you are qualified.
You are not only qualified to participate in this ministry... YOU ARE COMMANDED TO!
For those who are qualified and ready to participate in the "Ministry of Restoration" you must ensure that you do it the right way!
Last week we looked at the importance of living with significance.
We were reminded how God planned works for us to complete before He calls us home.
Practical Exercises
Now if this does not describe you, you have no business getting into other people’s business!
When someone intervenes into another person’s life and they do not walk with God and bear His fruit, it rarely turns out good!
Last week we looked at the importance of living with significance.
We were reminded how God planned works for us to complete before He calls us home.
I asked you last week to do some practical exercises, two of the questions were, “What do I enjoy doing?” and “What has driven my life so far?”
Start with a life assessment: ask yourself some questions...What do I enjoy doing?
The Lord often directs us with our passions—those things that give up meaning and satisfaction and benefit others.What has driven my life so far?
Often, what you are doing now is preparing you for what you will do later.Has it been guilt?
Fear?
Worry?
Resentment?
Your past?
Other people?
Making money?
What’s been driving my life so far?
ILLUS: The man who getting an engineering degree, and had a passion for working with youth and children and building things.
His passion was in teaching kids how to build things out of wood!READ and consider some more questions:What is the first thing I think of when I wake in the morning?What is my greatest fear?How do I want to be remembered?
Do an assessment and discover your passion!
Next week, I’ll ask you to share some of your answers.
Finishing the Race: Living with purpose
Last week we looked at the importance of living with significance.
We were reminded how God planned works for us to complete before He calls us home.
Scripture tells us, each of us are created by God for His purpose.
…
workmanship: product God made; poetic composition; masterpiece
a poetic composition; masterpiece;
We were put on this earth to leave it a better place, to make significant contributions.
You may not think you are doing that!
But if you ask those who know you, I believe you will be pleasantly surprised!
Last week I asked you to do some practical exercises, two of the questions were, “What do I enjoy doing?” and “What has driven my life so far?”
We are God’s workmanship (masterpiece)… made for a purpose!
Planned in advance before you were born!
You were put on this earth to leave it a better place, to make some kind of contribution with your life.
psa 139:
