Topic: GOD MADE ME FOR A PURPOSE.

For we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus, for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

According to the Book of Genesis, chapter 1; God created everything including us! In verse 21, Moses wrote that “God made man in His own image- male and female, He created them”. Because man is the crown of God’s creation, the work of taking good care of all that God made was entrusted to his care. But Adam and Eve doubted God’s love and disobeyed.

God, who is full of love and mercy, sent Jesus to come and showed us how to do God’s will. Jesus died on the cross so that we can become friends with God again through Him.

Through Jesus we can do all the good works for which we were created. God spoke to Jeremiah and said, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you” God made us in his image and he made us on purpose. We are not on earth by chance. God created each and every one of us on purpose for a purpose. May God help us to realize His purpose for us in Jesus name. Amen.

Thoughts for Reflection
1: God created everything, both seen and unseen.

2: We sin against God whenever we doubt and disobey His instructions.

3: God’s love and forgiveness are always available for us through Jesus!

4: we can do all the good works that God wants us to do through Jesus.

Thank you Father, for creating me for good works. Forgive me all my sins and help me to do your will always, in Jesus name. Amen!
