I would like to know more about God’s purpose. Please guide me to any discussion on this subject.
Born again is the same as new creation we’re meant to be changed this is our purpose and why he saved us
“For we are
his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:10 KJV
we’re made to follow Jesus teachkngs and those good works he taught us to do
we’re made to shine his light in the darkness to inpact the people around us in the world with love and goodness in all it’s forms taught by Christ Jesus
we’re saved from being servants of the evil in this world , doing harm to others speaking lies , lusting and commiting sins of lust ect all the bad in the world we’re created To part from those things they are satans Will d made to start gathering the faith in the gospel d following those things he created us to walk in we’re literally saved to do food works and reflect Christs goodness and mercy , his forgiveness and love found and known and conveyed by Jesus our lord in the gospel another example
This is where every Christian’s place is and it’s why Jesus did what he did
“For
the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.”
Titus 2:11-15 KJV
The reason oaul wants it taught is. Excuse that’s how grace saves us it teaches us to repent of evil works me become zealous for doing the good works we’re taught by Jesus to walk in or walk after his ways and teachings
all they really teach us is how we are supposed to treat each other forgive don’t hold grudges , help others when you are able to help them especially the needy among us , don’t lust after someone’s spouse , live a merciful life , not just a life where God is merciful to you but be merciful as our father has been and is To us when we do something wrong
he just teaches us how to live right and how we are to act in daily life how dowctine isn’t a list of rules but a collection of Hods own teachkngs to mankknd meant to create a new nature new perception of God , ourselves , this world and his eternal kingdom to come
we just want to let it in d the word of Christ is we don’t reject and deny it will begin to strengthen or “ quicken “ our mind and heart where the sin problem exists this is able to change our trajectory and how we actually live life it has the power to change us based on if we hear and accept and believe him
if we do that we come to the conclusion “ this is our lord , he is the one whom is going to judge us , it’s his word I need to hear and start to accept and let it change my thinking “
his word is the key to everything the Bible has to offer it’s the vehicle for how the hilt spirit gets into our hearts d that’s when the real change begins to manifest we just persevere in the faith Jesus spoke forth and he will re create us from within and that is what changes us outwardly in our deeds
we have to let the gospel in and let it change what we believe because mostly we think we know but if the Bible is saying something we don’t believe it’s never going to change nee have to conform to it and let our minds change and come to agree with the gospel
our only place is to let Jesus do his work in us through his word that’s where faith is found
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17 KJV
we have to hear the word of the gospel it’s eternal Life d freedom from condemnation
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24
The reason Jesus constantly said things like that or like this
“It is
the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Then
Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And
we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.”
John 6:63, 68-69 KJV
e reason he repeatedly says that type of thing is because it is the fulfillment of this
“
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and
commander to the people.
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found,
call ye upon him while he is near: let the
wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For
as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and
returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:3-4, 6-7, 10-11 KJV
he sent the word to save us the word is what “ quickens “ is it breathes life into us it wakes us up from our slumber and wakes us up to hear the truth from God because we find that we had hardly any clue so it is a changing event to learn what Gods true word is to believers if we do actually hear and believe him
