Really, Why Am I On This Planet? (Part 2)

Hi everyone,

In my last write-up, using Ephesians 4:11-13, I was able to explain how those born of God are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. This would lead to knowing what we are here to do earth.

According to Ephesians 4:11-13, I explained that we are meant to have the fullness of God in us, in other words, there shouldn’t be any difference between Christ and us, on how to live. The first part God wants man to become is to have the fullness of Christ in us, so, with all these, what exactly is meant to here on earth?

Since we have the life of Christ, let’s take a look at how Jesus lived His life while He was here on earth in Acts 10:38, “How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him.” AMP. Jesus had the Holy Spirit in Him, which everyone born of God has, but one thing was clear about what Jesus did, He went about doing good, how? By using the powers of the Holy Spirit. Of course, that’s so obvious [rolling eyes]. But what did the Holy Spirit do in Him?

God has given everyone a talent or a gift, it is this that the Holy Spirit uses in us to carry out the good deed. Jesus was a person full of hospitality and the Holy Spirit empowered that in Him as He went about doing good. The question now is, do you know the talent God has given you because this is what the Holy Spirit would empower you to go about doing good.

The whole essence of doing good is that the world is full of evil, and an act of good empowered by the Holy Spirit allows the unsaved to see the love of God through you, and as a result receive His love and Grace through Christ in you.

No matter what you do here on earth, it has to what God has put in you and would be empowered by the Holy Spirit, this is because the nature of man is selfish and only wants things for himself. Jesus said He came not to be served but to served, this is the same with those born of God, you are meant to serve, by going about doing good, in so doing the world would become a better place.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
