Life's mission

Life’s Mission.
Read Matthew 4

“From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”                                                                                                               Matthew 4:17

The new Century Bible puts the above verse like this, “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, ‘change your hearts and lives, because the kingdom of heaven is near.’”

If we truly believe in Christ. If we truly take to heart what Jesus taught it will change our lives.
Our life’s mission will change.
In accepting Jesus in our life, we must admit that He is the Son of God and therefore our King.
If He truly is our king then we must give to him the honour he deserves.
Secondly, we must realize that if Jesus is who He says He is that there is more to life than what we see now. It is what we see by faith. Thus, we must strive to follow our faith and follow Jesus to the fullest of our ability.
Thirdly, we must examine our values and be willing to change. We cannot serve God and man.
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour we must take on the values of the kingdom of God.
Furthermore ,the world must see the values of God reflected in our lives.
Fourthly, as we allow Christ to work within our life, we will find our priorities change.
Our priorities become those of Christ.
Our principle desire becomes to show God’s love to the whole world.  Be that world our family, friends, neighbours or people in the far flung areas of the globe.
