PURPOSE OF OUR CREATION AND RECREATION

GLORY TO HOLY TRIUNE GOD!

GREETINGS TO ALL,

This month when we commemorate visitations of Jesus to the disciples as well as Works,Fruits and Gifts of Holy Spirit, Let us meditate on few topics. This week let us meditate on the purpose of our creation and recreation.

1) GOD CREATED US! [GENESIS 1:27]

So God created human beings, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female, 

2) OUR RECREATION IN JESUS CHRIST! [2 CORINTHIANS 5:17]

 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a newcreature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?

EPHESIANS 2:10

"God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do."

SO GOD WANTS US TO DO GOOD WORKS. WHY?

REASONS:

1) " TO BRING GLORY TO HIS NAME"

"In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven."[MATTHEW 5:16]

• Doing good works doesn't mean to be in the good books of people.
• Doing good works should always be based on the foundation of God's love and to spread the good news to people.

2) " TO FOLLOW JESUS'S EXAMPLE "

"Jesus said to them, “I have done many good deeds in your presence which the Father gave me to do...""[JOHN 10:32]

• When our Heavenly Father sent Jesus to this world, he showed mankind how our Father loves us.
• As God's Disciple, we should also continue with good works and portray His love for us.

3) "TO BE UNAFRAID"

"Would you like to be unafraid of those in authority? Then do what is good, and they will praise you,"[ROMANS 13:3]

• If you are doing good, do not be afraid.
• Stop seeking man's approval as great is our reward in Heaven.

4) "FOR PROFESSING GODLINESS"

"But with good deeds, as is proper for women who claim to be religious."[1 TIMOTHY 2:10] 

• Let us adorn ourselves with modest apparel and with good works.

5) "BECAUSE IT IS EVIDENT"

"In the same way good deeds are plainly seen..."[1 TIMOTHY 5:25]

• Our good works are not hidden but it is clearly evident.
• If our very hairs of head are all numbered won't he keep account of our good works?

6) " FOR JESUS WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR US"

"He gave himself for us, to rescue us from all wickedness and to make us a pure people who belong to him alone and are eager to do good."[TITUS 2:14]

• We should have the zeal for good works and to accomplish God's purpose in our life.

7) " FOR PROCLAIMING OUR BELIEF"

"This is a true saying.
I want you to give special emphasis to these matters, so that those who believe in God may be concerned with giving their time to doing good deeds, which are good and useful for everyone."[TITUS 3:8]

• As mentioned in the above verse, the Apostle Paul makes a special emphasis in giving time to do a good deed.

8) " TO BE FRUITFUL"

"Our people must learn to spend their time doing good, in order to provide for real needs; they should not live useless lives."[TITUS 3:14]

• If we do not do justice to our real duty, if we aren't working to be fruitful, if we are not spending time to do good deeds, our life indeed is fruitless.

9) "TO STIR UP LOVE"

"Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good."[HEBREWS 10:24]

• Love without action is meaningless.Action without love is irrelevant.

10) "GLORIFY GOD IN DAY OF VISITATION"

"Your conduct among the heathen should be so good that when they accuse you of being evildoers, they will have to recognize your good deeds and so praise God on the Day of his coming."   [1 PETER 2:12]

• Our actions speak for us.
• Do not be worried about evildoers
• With every work let us pray "Glory to you, Lord!"

11) "FOR WE SHALL REAP"

"So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest."[GALATIANS 6:9] 

• In God's sight none of our deeds ever go in vain. Rightly said, "As you sow so shall you reap"

12) " TO BE MAN OF GOD"

"That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."[2 TIMOTHY 3:17]

• If we are striving to be perfect, how can we forget to wear fine linen of good works for the marriage of the Lamb. 

This image would surely disclose the purpose of your creation and recreation.

  I just pray to the Lord, that the Holy Spirit may guide us & lead us to do good works. Let us take the armour. 

"Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready."(Revelation 19:7)

Have you made yourself ready?
