Purpose Of Man

 

            "It's 1997, I"m sitting in my room asking myself the question that will change my life. What is my purpose in life? At that time I was pretty sure that I was suppose to be a professional baseball player. But God had some different plans. That next morning I woke up to go to church camp. I was just recently saved and baptized so this Christian thing was a fairly new concept for me. I pretty much thought that that was all I had to do for the rest of my life and I could just go on living the way that I did. Well that week God changed my life. He showed me that I need to be a servant for him, I needed to obey him and trust that he will deliver me. So that He might be pleased and glorified." In this essay will discuss what the purpose of man is. Man is to live for God in Holy Devotion and Service that God might be pleased and glorified.
             God tells us that Man must have a personal relationship with Him and have the right understanding about Him. Take Paul for example, Paul had one of the best relationships with God in the Bible. He was persecuted, beaten and hated against. Just because He knew and talked about God. In order to please God, Man must have faith. But what is faith? Faith is knowing that Jesus is always there and He will provide when in troubled times. Again take Paul, he was imprisoned and God gave the ability to over come that troubling time in his life. And he got blessed because of it. God is also delighted in those who know and understand His person and works. First off Man should not boast at his own works to delight God. A reason for this is Man can not get to heaven by his own works. Man can only get to heaven Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins that man might not parish but have every lasting life. But if man chooses to boast let it be on knowing the Lord. God also requires us to do justly, fear God, and walk in all His ways. In Deuteronomy 6:10-25 tells us that Man should have a reverence and awe for because it is commanded.
