Titus 2:11-14, 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
1) Our Purpose is to
!
- God saves us to make us a people of His own possession
- He saves us to draw us near to Him and for us to know Him!
- He gave Himself for us to redeem us from ALL lawlessness
- Only one law matters. If we live apart from it, we are law less
- He gives us hope that is realized when we are with Him
2) Our Purpose is to Be
!
- God’s grace trains us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions
- As we renounce these things, we embrace living self-controlled, upright, and godly lives
- We are to be a people of His own possession who are zealous (passionate and excited, well-motivated) for good (defined by God) works.
- We are to live and please Him (as oppose to defying and rejecting Him)
- The will of God for your life: Sanctification
- No longer led by worldly passions and impulses but rather controlled in holiness and honor.
- No longer self-focused but looking out for one another.
- Not impurity, but holiness
CLOSING
- We could go longer and get into more specific details about God’s purpose for our lives, but all of our Abundant Purposes stem from these two things:
1) Know God
2) Be Set Apart Unto Him - Faith and Faithfulness
