CHRISTIANS ARE RISEN FOR A GREAT PURPOSE
1. TO LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS AND SOUL AND OUR
STRENGHT.
( Deuteronomy 6:5-6
) [5]And
thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy might.
[6]And these words, which I
command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
* This is the serious commandment of God to His creature.
2. TO GLORIFY GOD IN OUR BODY THE BIBLE SAID.
( 1 Corinthians
6:19-20 ) [19]What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
[20]For ye are bought with a
price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
* Because are bought with the price. The Bible said.
3. TO WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND AND IN TRUTH.
( John 4:23-24 ) [23]But the hour cometh, and now
is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:
for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
[24]God is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
* For God seeketh that kind of worship from His people.
* King David is always excited to worship God in His Temple.
( Psalms 122:1 ) I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the house of the LORD.
* Jerusalem Church are good model in faithfulness in worshipping God
everyday.
( Acts 2:46-47 ) [46]And they, continuing daily
with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat
their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
[47]Praising God, and having
favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as
should be saved.
4. TO LOVE NOT THE WORLD NEITHER THE THINGS IN THE WORLD.
( 1 John 2:15-17 ) [15]Love not the world, neither
the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the
Father is not in him.
[16]For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not
of the Father, but is of the world.
[17]And the world passeth away,
and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
* Demas is bad example of Christians who to love the World more than to
love God.
( II Timothy 4:10 ) For Demas hath forsaken me, having
loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to
Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
5. TO FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST AT ANY COST.
( Matthew 28:19-20 )
[19]Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
[20]Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
6. TO SUPPORT THE MISSION WORK LIBERALY AND FAITHFULLY
( II Corinthians
8:1-5 ) [1]Moreover,
brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of
Macedonia;
[2]How that in a great trial of
affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the
riches of their liberality.
[3]For to their power, I bear
record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
[4]Praying us with much intreaty
that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the
ministering to the saints.
[5]And this they did, not as we
hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of
God.
* Philippians Church supported the Mission work liberally and faithfully.
* Philippians
4:15-16 ) [15]Now ye
Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed
from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and
receiving, but ye only.
[16]For even in Thessalonica ye
sent once and again unto my necessity.
* God bless you all always *
