Week 3

Why were we born? I think the answer is to know and to love God. End of story. But, since I have to fulfill a word count, I've got more to say. God is an end. That means the point of God, is to have all glory and power given to him. The purpose of an end is such. There are only 2 ends in this universe. But in all reality, the smaller one does in fact, look up to the larger end. These ends are God and Satan. Now, we are put on this earth, with the sole purpose of giving glory to God and him only. Now I know, there are times where it is hard to give glory to God. This past week has been rough with Satan attacking routinely. Through that, it has been very easy to be depressed and down. But, that's not what life is about. You need to make a concious effort to praise God every day. Now, you might have different ways of doing this, but the reality is, if you aren't working, you aren't fulfilling your purpose. If my moms workers at our dog kennel are not working, they are not fulfilling their purpose. Now because they are not fulfilling their purpose, they get fired and then they have no purpose. Now, I'm not saying that God will fire us per say, but we will not get his reward and his blessings. These, ultimately as a Christian are what we hope and strive for, but we can only achieve them if we work for them.

Section 2

It's amazing to me that God calls us saints. I mean, we are sinners, completely 100% sinful. We have accomplished so many evil acts in our lives, it's a wonder God hasn't struck us dead. Or is it? God is calling us saints because even though we are sinners, God still loves us. Think about someone you love. Even if they mess up, or they don't act like they are supposed to, you still love them. Right? Because love is unconditional. If you truly love that person, you will love them no matter what happens in between the two of you. It is the same way with God, he loved us so much that he sent his son to die for us. Now, I believe that is the most loving you can get to anything. Dying, or sending someone you love to die for some one you don't know or especially someone you know that doesn't love you in return. Now, because God loves us so much, he calls us a saint if we recognize him and his love for us. And the thing is, this whole handing out sainthood is not just picking out select people, God is searching and hunting for people who will take him as their Savior and then, when they do that, he gives them sainthood.

Pt 1

first off, it's completely amazing that God made us so complex. But in that, he also made us simple. We have simple traits like hair and eye color that make us visually unique, but we also have inside things that make us even more different and complex than anything imaginable. I mean, think of the most complex thing ever invented, what is it? Is it your phone, your car, or maybe your house? These things, were all invented by man, which means, man is even more complex than those things. But, I think I'm kinda getting off track.... So to get back on track, we discover our real personal identity in Christ. Not the outward stuff, but the inward stuff. Kinda like talents and gifts that God has given each one of us to use. With these gifts, it is this way that we can find out our real destiny. One that has been preset and destined by God himself. Even from the beginning of creation.
