In this series, we have learned that everyone has a garden, a sphere of influence that God holds us responsible to manage. In managing this garden, we need to know who we are, legal representatives of the Kingdom of God.  From this viewpoint, we discover that God has created each one of us for a purpose and has divinely ordained a special work for us to complete. Here are three reasons why we should press on towards our divine purpose.

We were saved to work for the Kingdom of God.  We need to know who we are in Christ to successfully rule God’s way. By the perfect work of Jesus Christ, we are saved by grace and placed in a position to accomplish good works for the Kingdom. God has given us legal authority and resources needed to rule. We are His workmanship, made suitable for the work assigned to us.

We were created for a purpose. God has made each one of us special. We are divinely created and uniquely made. We are created for a special work that will have an eternal effect in the kingdom.  God is involved in crafting our lives into masterpieces of art as we serve Him. The ultimate purpose of one’s life is to accomplish the work of God.

We must take the responsibility for completing our assigned work. Every believer has a particular assignment that God wants him to accomplish during his earthly lifetime. Every decision made has a direct effect on the plans God has predestined for us. Our purpose is fulfilled when we make choices that align with the Kingdom agenda and take responsibility for our actions.

Every believer has been created to accomplish good works for the Kingdom. God has given us the legal rights and resources to complete pre-determined tasks. Everyday we are faced with decisions that fulfill God’s plan, our divine purpose.  We each have to make decisions and take responsibility in completing our God-given works.

1. God has created Christians to accomplish good works for His Kingdom. Can you articulate the good works God has called you to do?
2. Are you currently pursuing the good works that God has called you to do? If not, what is hindering you from pursuing God’s purpose for your life? Consider sharing with a godly friend or accountability partner your plan to pursue God’s purpose for your life.
3. Identify one thing that you know God wants you to complete before you die. Consider developing a plan for completion.
