ACE #3 Purpose
Read Luke 10:25-37
Friends God has a purpose for each one of us. That purpose
is to
Love Him and Honor Him. And love your neighbor. That’s right our
neighbor.
We can't do this if we are always thinking of ourselves and how
we can feed our own desires and wants. A life in Christ is not about how much
we are winning in sporting competitions, if I am smarter than my co-worker, how
much money I can make, or if I have the fancy car or not. Our purpose in Christ
is about true love. It’s about the love that comes from the heart, the soul and
the mind.
It means we are the same person in public as we are in private.
It means we are in true love with our neighbor despite their ill feelings
towards us. It means having faith to believe that even though it does not look good;
it's working for the good.
In the clip, Grant challenged his team. He made a resolution to give God
everything and leave the rest up to Him. He wanted to know who would join him. God commands us to Love Him first. He commands us to do it with all of
our heart, soul and mind. In doing this, we resolve to let Him be the focus of how
we live daily. What we did years ago and are doing now, means nothing if it is
not bringing honor and glory to Lord. It’s not about us. We are not here for us.
Our purpose is to love Him. Honor Him. Worship Him. Serve Him. Adore Him. Share
Him. Teach Him. Preach Him. Confess Him. Believe in Him. Hope in Him and wait
for Him. We are to love and honor the Lord in every aspect of our lives. This is
our responsibility. This is our purpose.
