Life... It is limited to time and space... Time is limited to years and space is limited to material... How we use our time and resources is crucial! It's called purpose. In Christ is our purpose, our desire, our passion! When you do not live for your purpose, you do not live at all. Purpose- Glorify God in all you do, say, think, desire, etc.
It breaks my heart to see so many people say they believe in God... but do not live it. They want to be a part of something, but have no desire to change and live apart from themselves. To live for Christ you must sacrifice all you are to God. It is extremely hard and humbling, but nonetheless, required.
I see many people trying to do good or trying to be religious, but rarely living for purpose. Many people do good to get recognized or something in return. Others act religious to be accepted and respected (example- Pharisees). James 4 says Faith without deeds is dead and same about deeds without Faith.
All that to say this- Get REAL! Christ has called us to live with His mindset (Phil. 2:5). He has called us to be Holy (Galatians 5:16)! Our mission is to glorify God! To make disciples and to show the world His love! Its time to step up, to live for Christ and to die to sin. We are no longer enslaved by sin, we are free and its time to break the enemy line and bring light to the dark! Freedom to the enslaved! Purpose to the deprived! Salvation to the lost! I know this, a life lived apart from purpose is a life lived in vain... "Time spent, life wasted, love destroyed, purpose deprived..." That is not a life anyone has to live... Instead they could be changed! "Time invested, life saved, love demonstrated, purpose driven!"
So, put on the armor of God and become a warrior for Christ! Not just a MinuteWarrior or a YearWarrior, but a ForeverWarrior! And let's not waste anymore life!
