KNOWING AND DOING THE WILL OF GOD

To know and do the will of God is the purpose of human existence. We are here because God created us to be here. He decided that we would exist. Loving God brings the greatest joy and happiness to a human life. There is nothing that can compare. “Reverence God and keep His commandments, for this is mankind’s all” (Ecclesiastes 12:13).

Some people never find happiness or fulfillment in their lives because they do not seek the will of God. When a person is self-centered rather than God-centered, they are like a dog chasing its tail. They never get anywhere in their search for meaning and happiness.

Your entire life is about God. Loving Him, pleasing Him, serving Him. It is to Him that you owe your very existence. And every day we should be thankful to God for the breath in our lungs. The very life that we have. God thought enough of you to create you. You are wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) in the image of God (Genesis 1:27).

In addition to giving you life in the first place, God gives you spiritual life. Jesus is our Savior and Lord. He went to the Cross to save us from the wrath of God which we so richly deserve. The decision is yours and mine. Will we follow God? Or will we seek to live a meaningless, shallow existence that leads to the courtroom of God’s justice?

Receive the Lord Jesus Christ. Obey Him in all that you do. He saves all of those who put their faith in Him (John 3:16) and who seek to obey Him (Hebrews 5:9). With one decision, that can be you.
