WHY AM I HERE | God’s Purpose For Your Life - Inspirational & Motivational Video

You're born, you live, you die And that life defines your eternity heaven in hell follow in a straight line from what you've made of this life and that's it You waste your life if you don't bring it into sync with God's purposes for you for your life And one of the first questions that theologians have been asking since the beginning is this question Why did God create? Human beings man and woman. Why did God create? Men and women he didn't need to create us if he needed to do anything. He wouldn't be God So God doesn't need anything so he could have gone throughout eternity Before time existed he could have been fine. Happy. God blessed God So the question is why did he create man and woman? Why am I here? What's my real purpose? Is it just to have a job raise a family go on vacation have children have grandchildren make a living get an education What is the reason for our existence? God made you for his glory That is he made you to put him on display By the way you live the way you think the way you feel 1st Corinthians 10:31 Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do do all of it for the glory of God It's all over the Bible you're on the planet by God's design in order to make him look Magnificent you're not your own You were made And you were redeemed bought For his glory to make him look great That's why we're here if you don't bring your life Into sync with that you waste it you throw it away and in the end you lose it So the Bible tells us in both old and new Testament man, and I mean men humans were created To glorify God and enjoy him forever Your existing today to glorify God that's your initial primary purpose for all of us We're not here to make a living got to make a living got to pay the bills. All those things are Subsidiary to the main purpose which many of us because it's so simple we miss it We are on earth right now to glorify God When you and I are glorifying God in whatever way God helps us to do it We are now fulfilling the purpose of our existence Every morning we wake up. Our main goal should be Understanding the purposes of God for our life. How can I glorify God? Let me tell you how Paul put it in the end of the tenth chapter of 1st Corinthians He says this whether you eat or whether you drink in whatever you do do it for the glory of God So when we have a meal we can glorify God. God thank you for this food See how if so few of us think of it. We just take life as a series of of just Inconsequential actions and we're not realizing I was created I'm happiest God is glorified and it's best for me Because I was made to do this to glorify God Whatever we do. You're doing it for the glory of God. That's where not only is God praise, but now all of his fulfilling Power and grace and blessing begins to flow in us Why where we're moving in the purpose for our existence? So sad to see people in the world trying to be happy without God and even people who come to church on Sunday Trying to be happy Outside of glorifying God it is impossible. It is impossible God has made us humans. So that the more you try to be happy the less happy you are the more you make happiness your goal the more it escapes you and when you don't try to be happy and just Glorify God happiness is chasing you all over the place You have a joy you have a zest in living. Why because you want to know because you're glorifying God So many people are aiming at the pleasure principle, but none of those things money vacations Educational achievement a great career even children and a family None of them can bring the joy and the fulfillment that glorifying God with our lives does But now the question comes obviously How do you glorify God? As we look at the scripture, I want to take you to the deepest thing of all There's nothing deeper than what I'm going to read to you Nothing in the Bible. Nothing nothing nothing You can't go deeper than this. There is no further depth found in scripture and We read it this way you're familiar with it. But I want to read it from the NIV. I am The True Vine And my Father is the gardener He cuts off every branch in me. That bears no fruit while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes So that it'll be even more fruitful so notice there no fruit Cast away you bear fruit. He prunes you so you can bear even more fruit You are already clean or pruned because of the word. I have spoken to you remain in me And I will remain in you now that word remain in me and I will remain in you. That's a very Deep word the King James has it abide in me and I will abide in you Some have stay connected to me. Stay with me Be close and with me being union with me and I will be in union with you No branch can bear fruit by itself. It must remain in the vine Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine. You are the branches for apart from me you can do nothing If anyone does not remain in me He's like a branch that is thrown away and wither such branches are picked up thrown into the fire and burned This is to my father's glory that you bear much fruit Showing yourself to be my disciples and the fruit bearing is not on Sunday. The fruit bearing is 24/7 365 As you bear fruit, my father is glorified What kind of fruit when you're kind And bear that fruit of kindness and love and mercy When you love people who are different than you When you're patient with people who are trying your nerves My father is glorified When you spread the good news of Jesus Christ with boldness, that's good fruit. My father is glorified when you bear fruit of souls getting saved when you're filled with Patience and you're filled with kindness and you're forgiving and dropping grudges My father is glorified when you bear good fruit like that that's how my father is glorified And the fruit the flower Is produced not by anything it does it can't do a thing But by remaining in the vine the sap the life of the plant Flows up and it's an apple a fig a grape and that's what Jesus says to us Just abide in the vine Stay connected to the life of the spirit That I put in you that is in the entire vine of which I am and you are just branches It's only life is in the vine This is what Satan always trying to do with us draw us away from abiding in Christ Stopping us from being connected to Christ Trusting Christ leaning on Christ staying connected and Abiding in Christ because you can't believe what I'll do in your life and through you if you just abide in me You don't have to struggle. You don't have to worry. You don't have to fret you don't have to make promises you got to abide The only life I have the only hope I have is in Jesus Christ and he is the life That's in the vine He is the vine and I'm just a branch an offshoot That can take his life and then without struggling produce all kinds of fruit Notice if we're bearing fruit like hopefully all of us are he said that his father is the Gardener and he comes and prunes us so that we can have more fruit now pruning is cutting It's not it's not pleasant But I bet if we could all talk privately. We all know what it is to be pruned by the father, don't we? Sometimes he uses circumstances in life to prune us So that we could bear more fruit So important to be in the word every day, so that that word can speak to us and prune us Oh God, I want to bear fruit And I know I can only do that by abiding in you. So prune me wherever you see I need pruning God, help me to live like that. I want to abide in you
