Why are we here?
What are we supposed to do?
How are we supposed to live?
I think everybody asks themselves, or others those question at least once in their life. If everybody was created, what were we created for? The answer is you were created with a specific plan and purpose for your life, and you were created by a God that loves you more than you could ever imagine, more than you could ever fathom, more than you could ever dream of. God is real, He's reaching out His arms to you right now, waiting for you to accept His embrace, His grace. Life is about what He did for you, why He gave His son for you, and what you do with that knowledge.
Ephesians 2:8-10 says:
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
We are saved by God's grace, not through anything that we can do. None of us can say that we on our own have earned righteousness and earned salvation. He was, is, and always will be the winning bidder. He paid the highest price possible, His son, Himself, in the flesh, on the cross. He created us, knit us together, assembled the pieces, breathed his breath into our lives.
It's like building a computer, you put everything together, but even the best hardware, the fastest processor, the largest hard drive, the biggest fans, the most efficient power supply, the biggest case, is all useless without an operating system, without software, without something to guide each and every part to work, so are we without God. Psalm 127 says
"Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain."
Unless God builds our lives, we labor in vain. Philippians 1:6 gives us the hope though,
"He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus"
God started the work when he knit you together in your mothers womb, and He won't be finished with the work until He takes you home. He will use every event in your life, from the smallest encounter of saying hello to somebody in passing, to the lowest points when it seems as if the world around you is falling down on your head, to the times that you feel as if you are on the top of the world. Each of those events can and will be used, to spread His glory, His Kingdom, His Love. He has given His all for us, and with His help, we can give our all to Him.
