Fulfilling God's Purpose For Your New Life In Christ

My Utmost For His Highest

“Being saved and seeing Jesus are not the same thing. Many people who have never seen Jesus have received and share in God’s grace. But once you have seen Him, you can never be the same. Other things will not have the appeal they did before. You should always recognize the difference between what you see Jesus to be and what He has done for you. If you see only what He has done for you, your God is not big enough. […] Jesus must appear to you and to your friend individually; no one can see Jesus with your eyes. And division takes place when one has seen Him and the other has not. You cannot bring your friend to the point of seeing; God must do it.” CHAMBERS

We should not be content with being saved, alone.  As glorious as that is.  It is not the end but the beginning.  Becoming a child of God releases the possibility of fulfilling God’s purpose in your life.  (Ephesians 2:10) Our life in Christ is so much more than “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” It is more than merely having your feet set on the highway to heaven.  God has an eternal plan and, as a Christian, you have a role to play. But you must do your part.  What is that part? Living for Jesus and not yourself.  Allowing the Spirit of God to have His way in you. It is one thing to receive salvation from Jesus, it is another to walk with Jesus.  That is our calling. It is our choice whether we fulfill our purpose. You might have the privilege of being a mother to your children.  You might teach Sunday school.  Or maybe you will be called to go to another land.  Whatever it is, you cannot accomplish that purpose, as God intended, apart from an abiding relationship with Jesus.  ELGIN

“Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus.  Look full in His wonderful face.  And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.

His Word shall not fail you—He promised; Believe Him, and all will be well: Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell!”
