Really, Why Am On This Planet? (Part 1)

Hello everyone,

You wake up one day and find yourself here on this planet, well that doesn’t fall upon us all of a sudden, but as we gain consciousness of our environment we ask the question why we were born. Well, Ephesians 4:11-13 said something that I feel is quite interesting, and it says,

“And His [God’s] were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers. His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church), [that it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.” AMP.

In understanding these verses which Apostle Paul wrote, God’s intention is for us to be one with Him in Christ Jesus, this is why He has ordained some the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers, who would guide those born of God towards attaining the mature manhood which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection. In other words, as Christ is the firstborn in the new covenant, thus having the life, Spirit and nature of God, we also are expected to have the exact life of God, just as Christ does.

Many of us tend to look unto to God as unworthy people, like a maggot, worms before God. True we didn’t deserve God’s mercy and Grace, but God made us righteous, and as you are now righteous, your life is not a maggot anymore, you are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!

So, what were you born to do here on earth? To answer this question is to first know who you are, which is that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, in other words, as Christ is exactly, so are you here on earth, because you carry the same Spirit of Christ which is the Spirit of God, in other words, you are now one with God. The question now is, now that you know that you have the Spirit of Christ, what am I to do here on earth? Log on next time as I break this down.

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!
