| Our Purpose — Part 2 |
| As mentioned yesterday our purpose in life should be fourfold. Here are the two further examples: |
| 3. To edify and help our fellow believers: |
| The Lord as the perfect example said to His own, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace” (John 16:33). |
| We are told, “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). |
| 4. To be God’s light to unbelievers: |
| Pilate said of the Lord, as the perfect example, “I find no fault in this Man” (Luke 23:4). |
| The Centurion gave a similar testimony: “Certainly this was a righteous Man” (Luke 23:47). |
| We are exhorted to “be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15). |
| It is only in this life that we have the privilege of living for Christ. Are we fulfilling the purpose we have been given by God? |
