GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE - PART 6

At this time, I believe it would be good to review what we have covered so far. We’ve said that:

* We were created to have a personal and intimate relation with God
* We were created to live for Him
* We were created to bring Him glory
* We were created to bring fruit
* God’s desire in the redemption of man’s soul

Today we will learn that He wants to use you and me to accomplish His redemptive plan. Imagine, the Great I AM, the Creator of the Universe, The King of kings and Lord of lords hand-picked you to include you and give you a mission that far surpasses all other missions in this world. There are very noble causes like being a doctor, or feeding the hungry, but these only reach the level of the human body. God has called us to participate in the greatest mission of all: the redemption of the human soul, the eternal salvation of people from a state of eternal separation from God in Hell. No cause is greater and more noble that this one. He has given us the great privilage and responsibility of the Great Commission.

In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus said to His disciples: "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." In Mark 16:15 Jesus says: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Then in Luke 24:46-48 He said: "Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things." And in John 17:18 He said: "As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.”

A disciple of Christ will have fulfillment in life when he/she is accomplishing God’s mission of redemption. 2nd Corinthians 5:18-20 says: “Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”

Don’t delay, these words are for you and me; let’s run with them; let’s put them into practice and may the Lord use you and me greatly to expand His kingdom!
