Dear Family of God,
This month I would like to share with you about purpose.
How wonderful and encouraging it is to know that our Heavenly Father has made it crystal clear in His Word exactly what His purpose is for each one of us.
Now is the time, right in these next few moments, to make sure, on the authority of His eternal Word, as to His purpose for your personal life.
When we were “born again,” through repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, (Acts 20:11) we were born into Him - He became our life.
Colossians 3:3-4: “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”
Our Heavenly Father is still carrying out His purposes of making man in His image.
Although His original purpose is the same, He is not using the original man to bring it about. All is now centered on the last Adam, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Being born into Him through faith, we became “partakers of the divine nature.”
If we are to be like Him, then God in His grace must do it, and the sooner we can recognize it, the sooner we will be delivered from every form of bondage.
Throw down every self effort and say, “I cannot do it. The more I try, the further I get from His likeness.”
Remember… For it is God that works in you, both to desire and to do His good pleasure.
For to me, to live is Christ! So that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in my mortal flesh.
Bless you all,
Pastors Ken & Tonja
