Why am I here?

 Why am I here? It is the age-old question. Well, to put it simply, just as Jesus had a task to complete when He came to earth, so do we! The difference is that Jesus was in constant contact with His Father throughout His life, so He knew the task and was determined to do it. 

And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. (Luke 22:41-43)

"Not My will, but Yours, be done." This is a very simple statement but one that will sustain our relationship with the Lord throughout out lives. Seek God's face and His will for you and life will make so much more sense and be much easier to navigate. 

This Lent, as we approach Resurrection Day, let's refocus our agendas to His agenda! We are here for His purposes!

This is the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. Believe it so you may be saved:

God, who is Spirit, set Himself apart (John 17.19), meaning, He dwelled in heaven and on earth at the same time (John 3.13). In heaven (Father) and on earth in a flesh of no reputation (Son)

The reason He came to earth was to establish His kingdom on earth, so He could reconcile us back to Himself (2 Corinthians 5.18/19). (Sin separates us from God and separation from God means eternal damnation)

When God was Father & Son as described in the bible (the bible is only for those who are already born again), He was not two entities but One entity (Holy Spirit) who dwelled in two places at the same time. And God called this spiritual constellation Father and Son (2 Samuel 7.14)

Now that God dwelled on earth, without leaving heaven, He was in a flesh body, just like us. He dwelled among us and spoke TRUTH. That is why He is called the word of God who became flesh in John 1.

While in the flesh body, He gave Himself the name of Jesus, that by this name we may be saved and every knee shall bow to the glory of God Most High.

When Jesus was in the flesh He submitted Himself to His own creation, He was under the law, prayed yet He did not sin. He was humiliated from the time He entered the fetus to the point of death on the cross.

His holy blood was the final sacrifice and payment for our eternal sins against the eternal Most High God.

When you believe in the love of God (the self sacrifice of God on the cross) that was manifested on earth (Jesus) and His resurrection, your sins will be forgiven and God Himself will dwell in you, reconciling you back to Himself (John 14.3)

You will be sealed for the kingdom of heaven, you will hear the voice of God and He will lead you into holiness.

All glory to Jesus Christ, Most High God. Hallelujah

Praise God!
