THE VERY
PURPOSE OF THE LIFE OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIAN IN BIBLICAL VIEW.
1. TO LOVE GOD ALWAYS IN YOUR LIFE.
(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:
2. TO LOVE HIS WORDS AND LIVE IT IN
YOUR DAILY LIFE.
(Joshua
1:8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy
mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe
to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy
way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
3. TO LOVE HIS CHURCH THAT JESUS
CHRIST, STABLISH ON EARTH DURING HIS EATHLY MINISTRY.
(Ephesians
5:25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved
the church, and gave himself for it;
4. TO LOVE PRECIOUS SOULS AND WIN
THEM TO CHRIST.
(John
4:35) Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then
cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields; for they are white already to harvest.
5. TO LOVE MISSIONS AND SUPPORT THEM
FINANCIALLY 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.
6. TO LOVE THE MAN OF GOD THAT LEADS
THE LOCAL CHURCH.
(1Thessalonians
5:12-13) [12]And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which
labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
[13]And to
esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among
yourselves.
7. TO LOVE THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS
IN CHRIST.
(Romans
16:1-16) [1]I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a
servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
[2]That ye
receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in
whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of
many, and of myself also.
[3]Greet
Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
[4]Who
have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks,
but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
[5]Likewise
greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who
is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
[6]Greet
Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
[7]Salute
Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among
the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
[8]Greet
Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
[9]Salute
Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
[10]Salute
Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household.
[11]Salute
Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which
are in the Lord.
[12]Salute
Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which
laboured much in the Lord.
[13]Salute
Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
[14]Salute
Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with
them.
[15]Salute
Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints
which are with them.
[16]Salute
one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
* God bless
you all always *
