DAY 7 – THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING
It is all for him!
“With this in mind,
we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling,
and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act
prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be
glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord
Jesus Christ.”
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 NIV
The ultimate goal of the universe is to show the glory of God. It is the reason for everything that exists, including you. God made it all for his glory. Without God’s glory, there would be nothing.
The glory of God is
who God is. It is the essence of his nature, the weight of his importance, the
radiance of his splendor, the demonstration of his power, and the atmosphere of
his presence. God’s glory is best seen in Jesus Christ. He, the Light of the
world, illuminates God’s nature. Because of Jesus, we are no longer in the dark
about what God is really like.
There are many ways
to bring glory to God, but they can be summarized in God’s five purposes for
your life. We bring God glory by worshiping him, loving other believers,
becoming like Christ, serving others with our gifts, and by telling others about
him.
It’s time to settle
this issue. Who are you going to live for – yourself or God?
Right now, God is
inviting you to live for his glory by fulfilling the purposes he made you for.
Real life begins by committing yourself completely to Jesus Christ.
If you are not sure
you have done this, all you need to do is receive and believe. The Bible
promises, “To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he
gave the right to become children of God.” John
