Are you wondering…
1. What on earth am I here for?
Many of us have asked this question — why are we born into this world? If it is God who place us here, why? Let me first quote this scripture:
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. Ephesians 1:4-5
God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.Ephesians 1:9-11
Essentially, what the above scripture says is that even before God made the world, He had us in mind. He had a plan. He chose us in advance. At the right time, God will bring everything under Christ’s authority and we have an inheritance because we are united with Christ.
