Remember the third part of your life purpose? - to exercise your talents for God's work! Let's look at what God's work is, since that is what I am designed by God to do...
If the end result of God's work is for all people to spend eternity in heaven, and if eternal life is ...that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent(John 17:3), then God's work is for all people to know Jesus, and if they know Jesus then they will know God!
In John 13:34-35 Jesus says that if I love others as He would, they will see Jesus, the one I follow. They will see The One who puts the love in me!
In His word, Jesus makes God real to me so I can know God. If I can make Jesus real to you by the way I live, then you can know Jesus.
That's the broad picture. Getting to the specifics, God gave each of us a unique *S-H-A-P-E- to do His work:
S piritual gifts
H eart or desire
A bility
P ersonality
E xperiences
Are you happy with your S-H-A-P-E? Well, you should be! God designed you that way. Are you using your S-H-A-P-E for God's work? More on that tomorrow...
