After we\u2019ve recognized our calling to God in Jesus Christ, the first thing that happens is the destruction of our prejudices and patriotisms. No longer are we servants of our own creeds and convictions; we have become servants of God\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n
The whole of humanity was created to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. Sin switched humanity onto another track, but it hasn\u2019t altered God\u2019s original purpose. When I am born again, I\u2019m brought into the reality of God\u2019s great purpose for humankind; I realize that I have been created for the God who made me. This is the most joyful realization on earth.<\/p>\n
We have to learn to rely on the tremendous creative purposes of God. Once I\u2019ve recognized my calling, the first thing God does is \u201cforce thro\u2019 the channels of a single heart\u201d the interests of the entire world. The very nature of God is introduced into me, and his nature is this: \u201cFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son\u201d (John 3:16).<\/p>\n
We have to keep our souls open to God\u2019s creative purposes and be careful not to muddle them with our own. If we do bring in our agendas, God will have to crush them, however much pain it may cause. The purpose for which the Christian disciple is created is to be God\u2019s servant, one in whom God is glorified. Through the salvation won for us by Jesus Christ, we are made perfectly fit for God. Once we realize this, we will understand why Jesus Christ is so ruthless in his demands. He demands absolute virtue and honor from his disciples because he has put into them the very nature of God. Be careful not to forget God\u2019s purpose for your life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
