Saved with a Purpose for a Purpose

Why were we saved?

Have you ever really pondered this question or maybe even answered it? I mean, I know how we were saved (through the redemptive power of Jesus’ blood) and the reason why God wanted us saved (to keep us from eternal damnation in the pit and to allow us to reign with Him in heaven), but I often think for what purpose did God have in mind when He decided to redeem what once had grieved him that He made us. Even though He knew some would still reject Him (when we reject Christ, we reject God) he still devised a plan to save us.

But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works, Psalms 73:28. As I meditated on this verse, I came to the realization that the remainder of my life should be lived trusting Him and doing whatever He asks of me to do, both verbally (God does still speak to His children) and from His word. So all the plans I’ve made for myself that do not align with His will, they are not important and a waste of time. I really don’t want to finally get to see Him face to face and hear Him tell me, why didn’t you do this or that? I must perform all He has for me to do while I’m still here, after all, I have to declare, make known to others what He has done.

We are saved with a purpose already set in us. The question remains, will you work out your purpose while you yet still have a chance?
