If the purpose is good
1 Corinthians 10:31-33 '31. Therefore, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God 32. Do not be a stumbling block, either to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God, 33. Like me, in all things please everyone for your own benefit. Do not ask, but seek the good of many, that they may be saved.' - Amen.
Life 7-80 After living, it is often said that life is meaningless. Why does life feel fleeting? Maybe it's because life on earth itself isn't that great, and because the purpose of life is unclear and he spent his entire life in a hurry.
To understand life, you must have a philosophy about the so-called values of life. If you eat, sleep, and have children like an animal and live by your instincts just like an animal, it only exists, but there is no meaning in living history.
The God we met has commanded us to live with a clear purpose for what life is and what it is through our spiritual transformation, and also promised us that we can be happy just as our purpose is right. Today, we would like to hear a message titled <If the purpose is good>.
1. The life of a saint aims for the glory of God
The religious desire to heal the so-called eight-year-old man by believing in Jesus is, in fact, a manifestation of the values of pagan religions that are undulating and magical.
At some point in the sermon to be blessed, they shout Amen, Amen, and cry out loud and focus on believing in Jesus and doing well.
But 1 Corinthians 10:31 “Therefore, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
Westminster Shorter Catechism
door 1. What is man's primary purpose?
A. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.
I came to church to meet God and to receive blessings and live well, but I feel like I am serving as a servant in my life for God. How can I set goals in my life for the glory of God? It must realize the origin of our existence.
Romans 11:36 “For all things come from the Lord, and through the Lord and to the Lord, to him be glory forever and ever, Amen.”
If you truly believe in the fact that the Lord Jesus died because of your sins and judgment, then you will be moved by the grace of the Lord that saved you from the seat of death and judgment, and living for the Lord would be a phenomenon that can be expressed with the utmost conscience. The more confident you are in salvation, the more your goal in life becomes the glory of God. Then... Romans 14:8 “If we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.”
2. If your purpose is good, you will not harm others
Sometimes it is inconvenient because there is an act of pouring cold water on the virtue of the church in the name of a Christian war, riot, or accusation against social law. Before considering the validity of the content, there is no doubt that he is unfaithful to God's Word, and it is also true that it is not very gracious as a result.
When you become a true Christian, you do not lose consideration for others. The first duty is 1 Corinthians 10:32, “Do not become a stumbling block to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God.
A true believer, both believers and unbelievers, must not become a stumbling block. The goal of life is the good will for the glory of God
If so, the process and method of life must be good.
The communist idea is that methods are justified to achieve goals, and so on. So, the logic of robbing the rich to feed the poor is established.
In the history of the church, there are many things that have only accumulated misunderstandings and amplified anger due to this method.
1 Peter 4:11 “If anyone speaks, let him speak as if he were speaking the word of God, and if anyone would serve, let him do it with the power that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. His power lasts forever and ever, Amen.”
3. If the purpose is good, many people will be saved.
A true Christian lives by knowing what is the best and most beautiful thing in all areas of life. It is a contagious work that allows a person to be saved.
1 Corinthians 10:33 “Like me, please everyone in all things, seeking not your own, but the good of many, that they may be saved.”
Today's Christians are zealous with meaning to live well in the world through Jesus. However, the Bible teaches that those who come across Jesus can become contagious in order to gain salvation.
1 Corinthians 9:22 “I became weak to the weak in order to gain the weak, and I was made various to many in order to save some, if any.”
Today, most people set their dreams and plans for life and want to listen to sermons tailored to them. Most of them want to be successful, and they want to obtain so-called material blessings. However, you should know that being successful and being happy are very different things.
You may achieve success in the world anyway, whether through church life, but winning life and finding true happiness does not coincide with that success.
If someone seriously asks you today what is the purpose of your life, what should we answer?
Only when we say the purpose of life with a good purpose is to prove that we are happy. I pray that you will realize that the purpose of life to glorify the Lord God is good and that it is a blessing to us.
