Created



Question? Why do humans have more faith in mankind and less faith in God who created mankind? Allow me to paint a picture for you.

Cars, trains, buses, roads, homes, boats and planes. It is safe to say, at some point in life we all have had the experience of riding, driving, living in or walking along something man has made. On a continual basis we openly trust one another, resting in the assurance of the manufactures warranty and safety certification.



Do you scream every time you enter a building? Do you fret when you enter an elevator? Do you worry yourselves to death when you walk down the street afraid that the building will fall? No! That would be silly because you trust that what has been made is reliable.



Question? Why is it easier to believe what man says about you and so difficult to believe what God says about you?



Answer: Ignorance. Too many people are walking around ignorant in the sense of not knowing what God has said, purposed and created them to be. The bible tells us that the people perish because of their ignorance or lack of knowledge.



General Purpose: What something was intended for, created for and designed to do.



Example:

A chair is made for sitting; its design is made to accommodate us for that reason. A chair is a chair, not a bed or a table. If we stand up in a chair instead of sitting in it, we leave its purpose and run the risk of hurting ourselves. Leaving the intended purpose of something opens the door for default, defect and perversions of reality.



Everything created has a creator , God created us. This is truth.



God created us with a specific design and purpose in mind. When Adam sinned in the garden all of mankind fell from grace. In our sin we became disconnected from the will of God, thus operating in the realm of darkness. In disobedience Adam traded Gods will, which is perfect for his own will, which is imperfect. Faith was turned to fear, blessing into a curse, love into lust, and light into darkness. Everyone born of the seed of Adam has been born into this fallen state.



God is Holy and cannot dwell in sin. Sin separates us from our creator; hence we are separated from our true purpose in life. God is Love. Remember don’t let any one tell you different. God is Love. Real love seeks to sacrifice itself for others.



God is a God of mercy, he is sovereign and just. God has made provisions for us to come back into his will and his way, he offered the ultimate sacrifice at the expense of himself that we might be acceptable to come back to him. God desires for us to abide in him and experience the fullness of his love. The key is in Christ Jesus. He is the wisdom of God. His sacrifice on the cross-paid the price of sin once and for all. Once we accept him we are free to come into the will of the father. FREE. This means that you are one step closer to finding true life. Please understand there is life and then there is life more abundantly.



1.Living, breathing and barely getting by. Your days are ordinary and mundane with no divine purpose and no true joy . You worrying about minor everyday details as thought it is the end of your world. All of your hearts desires benefit you in the end. You say things like “it’s just another day” or “I’m just hanging in there”. If you lead this life you are living in the fallen state that Adam cursed us with. Darkness surrounds you, emotions control you and you walk by sight and not by faith.



2. Joy, peace, understanding, love, clarity, purpose. If these are some of things that you experience on a daily then you are coming into the fullness of Christ. You understand that even when you don’t know what is to come you are still at peace because you trust in the lord. Here you not only say but you believe what the Lord has said about you. Your walk is upright you strive for excellence and realize that it is not by your strength or might. You wear the armor of God and come daily before his thrown of grace. Here you rest in God’s love knowing that he will never leave you nor forsake you.



If you see yourself in description number one and desire to see yourself in description number two you are half way there. Recognizing your need for God is essential and is the first step closer to him. Submission is crucial for your spiritual growth and development. God wired us to worship him and give him the praise, this is our reasonable service onto him. The bible is the word of God read it. In his word you will find his thoughts and feelings towards you.



Please do not be misled by anyone, you cannot find your true purpose in life outside of God. The happiness, peace and purpose that you seek cannot be found in material things or with selfish ambitions. Purpose will become clear once you submit to the will of God and declare Christ as your Lord and Savior.



To remain without a purpose and a direction in life is to walk around aimlessly wasting precious time. Seek God and he will reveal himself to you, open the doors of your heart and exchange your will for his. God knows the way. Guest what? He made the way!
