Primary Purpose

If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Romans 14:8 

 

 

As believers, we have a Primary Purpose for existing...to honor God! That is our primary reason for being. I can here it now: "But what about helping others?"  "What about love?" "What about all the other stuff?"  Yeah, I had those questions too.

 

But remember what Jesus said was the greatest commandment? "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength."  And the second greatest is tied to the first because when we love God that much, we will be able to "Love others as you love yourself."  And in doing that, we honor God!

 

The Apostle Paul also reminded us, "So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."  So you see, our every action, thought, word, and our very existence is for the primary purpose of bringing glory to God!
