I have never read a better presentation of what is a Christian’s Goal in life than this one on
Listen, there is only one valid goal in life – to live for God and love Him supremely. Isn’t He worthy of the glory? God made us for Himself and a life spent for Him and with Him is fulfillment at its best yielding righteousness, peace and joy unspeakable. Your plans, ambitions and wishes are but hollow idols; throw them in the trashcan. Take your splendid sins and cast them by faith on the mighty Savior, trusting that He died to pay your sin-debt – freely, fully, forgiven forever. Get a Bible. Saturate your mind with it and find it to be a manifesto of the mind of God, an operator’s manual for your soul, a blue print for building character, a rulebook for the race of life, a road map to heaven. Invest everything in God Himself. He alone has eternal life and those in union with Him through Jesus Christ will rise in the last day with a brand new body and live forever. Will you repent and believe, or will you press on and perish?
What does God say?
“All that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh (pleasures)
the lust of the eyes (possessions) and
the boastful pride of life (popularity)
is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world is passing away, and also its lusts but the one who does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:16, 17).
Make the will of God your career. Who are those who enter heaven at last? Those who do the will of God (Matthew 7:21).
Scripture Memory How/Why – Bob Jennings
Now don;t let’s misunderstand the meaning here. This is in no way saying we work to get to Heaven; this is not some works righteousness. This is merely a wise man explaining what our goal, out of Love for God, is.
