Life Purpose

QT:
Galatians 6 - Ephesians 2

[Galatians 6: 1- 3]
1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

[Ephesians 1:4]
4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.

[Ephesians 2:10]
10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

God spoke to me two important truths today. Firstly, our love for brothers and all. When we see someone sinning, we should correct out of love and gentleness. Do not create bitterness between you and that particular person. ALSO, Do not just let him be. It just goes to show how much you care for him. Be caring towards each other, only when you start caring , then will it be reciprocal. Secondly, remembering our life purpose. We are CHOSEN to do good works for the kingdom's sake. We should actually feel honoured to be so instead of feeling NUMB(nothing) as we have been in church for quite a period of time and have grown to be people who take God for granted. Do not take God for granted. Strive to live a holy and blameless life. Every action you take has its consequences good or bad.
