God’s purpose for your life is that his glory would be seen through how you live

TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

From the very beginning, God’s aim has been that people would bring glory to him, and that purpose has not changed regardless of when Christ may return. Whether Jesus comes tonight or many years from now, the question that matters most is whether the life of Christ is being lived out through us in a way that others can actually see.

If someone can look at your life and notice something of Jesus in it, then God is being glorified through you. That is the goal. If that is not happening, then something important is being missed, no matter how much a person knows about scripture or how long they have been a believer. The call is not just to know about Christ but to reflect him so clearly that the people around us catch a glimpse of who he is.

Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16
