Living My Purpose

in

I’m Christian and I do what I can to live a Christian life – to fulfil my purpose. Most of the time, I fall short. I’ve compiled these biblical verses to remind me of that purpose. 

Romans 12.2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Psalm 138.8 The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.

For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.

And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?

That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

And a light to my path.

Proverbs 12.15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who heeds counsel is wise.

John 8.12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Proverbs 3.5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding…

1 Thessalonians 4.11 …that you aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands.

Matthew 7. 13-14 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Luke 8.25 Where is your faith?

Matthew 25.35-36 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.
