Live with God’s Purpose as Your Highest Priority

Matthew 22:37-40

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

We can know about the invisible God Almighty only if we learn about Him. Only then can we have greater conviction in the fact that He loves us and is always with us. And as we act on what we’ve learned, we will live experiencing and loving Him. We must also learn about Jesus to understand clearly how He loves us, how He carries out God’s Will, and how to live as God’s counterparts of love.

We Need to Live for God’s Purpose 

God’s purpose refers to His purpose for creating all creation in Heaven and Earth and people. The purpose is to absolutely love God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son, become their counterparts of love, and live together with Them. It is to live loving Them to the utmost every day for our body’s lifetime and to live eternally in the Golden Heaven with Them as Their counterparts of love in our spirits.

How Does Faith Shatter in an Instant?

During times of tribulation, the reason people’s houses of faith crumble like houses built on sand is because they didn’t act on God’s Word even after hearing it. If you live absolutely knowing the Word, understanding it, and believing it, you will reject ferocious Satan, people used by Satan, and erroneous ideologies. Know the Word clearly and act on it. Then you will remain strong and not be deceived even if close family members or friends say incorrect things to you.

People shipwreck their faith also because they did not live with all their heart, will, and life according to God’s purpose. Instead, they lived to only fulfill their own purposes. Those who were ignorant to the value of God’s purpose lost that purpose during times of tribulation and lived only for their own purposes of love.   

God Has Been Making History According to His Purpose until Now

In the Old Testament, God’s counterpart history with human beings was carried out for 4,000 years with those who served and loved God to the utmost as His servants. In the New Testament God raised it one level higher and carried out His counterpart history with those who believed in Jesus, served God together with Jesus, and lived loving God as their highest priority as God’s children. Lastly, God promised through Jesus in the New Testament that He would come again in the position of our Bridegroom. And those who receive Him will enjoy the wedding supper of the Lamb and become God’s eternal counterparts of love as His brides of faith.

Live Life without Neglecting God’s Purpose

God’s purpose for creating Heaven and Earth and human beings is so that we would believe in the Savior sent by God and live as absolute counterparts of love to God in this time period. Live all your life making God’s purpose your highest priority.
