What is your purpose?

Determined Purpose
Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.
Philippians 3:8
What is your determined purpose in life? Everyone has one. Some of us declare it, and others of us just practice it. But we all have something that is our purpose in life—something that gets us up in the morning, something we live for, something we would even be willing to die for.
The Apostle Paul's determined purpose was to know the Lord. Paul wrote to the church at Philippi, "But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord" (Philippians 3:7–8).
Paul recognized the wonder of becoming more intimately acquainted with Him. God can be known. Not completely grasped. Not completely understood. But at the same time, God can be known in a personal and a very real way. What a great purpose in life. I hope it's yours.

I believe we all have a purpose in life. That purpose is to put God first in our lives and to worship Him. We need to share God's Word with everyone and anyone, so that they may have the same opportunity to make heaven their home as the true Christians will. When I say true Christians, I am refereeing to those that do not compromise their salvation with things of this world. We have to remember that God does not want to dwell in a dirty vessel. He wants to dwell in a vessel that is willing to be clean, so that He may help us keep it clean. I understand that there is no place in the Bible where it states that you should not smoke or drink, but I can tell you that if you have Jesus Christ living in your heart and He is number one in your life, you would refrain from allowing those things contaminate your body, which is the temple of God when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
God Bless
