Purpose or Coincidence? 11-3-08

Purpose or Coincidence? Did God made you accidentally? Is your life an accident? Is there a purpose in your life?

Many people has wondered about this question. Why was I created into this world? Did God accidentally create me? Was it better for me not to be born? God has a reason for all of us to be in this world. Is this a coincidence to be here? No it was not like God was bored or something and created you for fun. No. God made you for a reason. A specific reason that only God knows but there is always a chance that He will show you. If you still stick with God creating you on accident, then would you say that God gave us a second chance by Jesus Christ on accident? You could think of that but would it really be an "accident"? No it is not an accident. First is because there is a reason for Jesus Christ to die for us on the cross. Its for us. We are sinners. Horrible horrible sinners that doesn't know how to repent. God though brought Jesus Christ as a second chance for us to have eternal life with Him. This second chance that hopefully no one would miss and would believe.

What's our purpose in life? That's a good question. In my life, I believe my purpose is to serve God. By any kind of ways:worship, serving others, giving, etc. Our purpose was like to repay Jesus Christ for giving us this salvation. This salvation that cost a lot. Our purpose though is not to teach others bad but to influence others to turn to good. Though life has many obstacles in life such as drama from friends, grades, relationships, and maybe even inner struggle with yourself, we should try to live a life for God. We should repay God for giving His son to us.

One last thought for all of us. Are you living a life for God? Are you influencing others in a good way or a bad way?

2 Timothy 1:8-9
8So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, 9who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
