Your Purpose In Life

The Bible reveals four primary purposes for your life - i.e., God’s plans, purpose, and will uniquely designed for you. At Bible IQ, we've captured these life-changing truths in a simple and memorable acronym: "4G." These four purposes are: "1. God-Up, 2. Group-Up, 3. Grow-Up, and 4. Gift-Up."

GOD-UP

To Know and Love God (“Worship”) – We were made to worship God and to join His family.
The Bible states, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37

Do you know that God loves you deeply and desires that you love Him in return? The Bible states, “I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings” (Hosea 6:6, NLT). Can you feel God’s passion to have a relationship with you? He wants you to know Him more than anything. So, it’s no surprise your first and primary purpose in life is to know and love God. And with that, do you happen to know the first step to knowing and loving God?

GROUP-UP

To Love Others (“Fellowship”) – We were made to fellowship with God’s family and others.
The Bible states, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:39

Your second primary purpose in life is to love others. Do you know what the biblical meaning is for neighbor? Do you know the biblical meaning for love? Do you know there's a huge difference between "worldly" love and "Godly" love?

GROW-UP

To Grow-Up Spiritually (“Discipleship”) – We were made to grow-up spiritually and become like Christ.
The Bible states, “Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” Ephesians 4:13

Your third primary purpose in life is to “Grow-up” spiritually. Think of it like this – similar to parents who want their children to grow-up to be physically and emotionally mature, God wants you to grow-up to be spiritually mature. Specifically, God wants you to become more like Jesus, not to become a ‘god’ – but to become more godly in your virtues and to live your life more fully and abundantly here on earth. Unfortunately, did you know that growing-up spiritually does not come automatic? That's right, it takes intentional effort and discipline, but God has provided us with a wonderful "spiritual gym" to help us exercise and grow our spiritual muscle!

GIFT-UP

To Help Build God’s Kingdom (“Ministry”) – We were made to serve the ministry of building God’s kingdom.
The Bible states, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20

Did you know that God designed you with unique gifts, passions, abilities, personality, and life experiences that equips you to fulfill His perfect and prosperous ministry plan (aka "special assignment") for your life? What's exciting is these same tailor-made attributes will not only help you in fulfilling this "primary" purpose in life, but they will also provide you with clues for making decisions about other big, yet "secondary" purposes in your life such as job, relationships, hobbies, goals, dreams, etc. [For more game-changing insights & information, please refer to our affiliated ministry, Your Purpose In Life, at www.YourPurposeInLife.org or click the logo located at the bottom of this page.]

The $1 Million Dollar Question:

Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test:
Q. Have you ever told a lie?
Q. Have you ever stolen anything?
Q. Have you ever used God’s name in vain?
Q. Have you ever lusted over someone?
Q. Have you ever hated someone?

If you have done these things, God sees you as a liar, a thief, a blasphemer, an adulterer-at-heart, and a murderer-at-heart. And this is only 5 of God’s Ten Commandments (a/k/a “God’s Law”). And the Bible warns that on the Day of Judgment, God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But, there is “good news”! God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law, but Jesus paid their fine by shedding His sinless blood on a cross ~2,000 years ago. This means that God can legally dismiss their case (and yours!): “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent (turn away from your sins), put your complete trust in Jesus, and confess Jesus as your Lord & Savior… and God will give you eternal life as a free gift.

The $1 Million Dollar Myth:

Contrary to popular belief, being a “good person”, doing “good deeds”, or being “religious” will not get you a ticket to heaven! Many people are hoping God will dismiss their sins because their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds. They further hope that because God is “good” he will let them go unpunished and enter heaven. However, because God is “good” he must by nature punish sinners (i.e., God would not be a good judge if he let criminals go free). The Bible states: “There is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.” (Ecclesiastes 7:20) The Bible also states: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) And finally, think about this, if your goodness could save you, Jesus would have died in vain (i.e., for no good reason). The Bible states: “I (Jesus) am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father (God) except through me. (John
14:6) Friends, please don’t “roll-the-dice” and gamble your eternal life on the life-threatening lie that being a “good person” will get you to heaven.

Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus:

Here is a prayer you can use to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord & Savior. It is a suggested prayer – the key is that you are speaking from your heart.
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me turn away from sin going forward. I believe that your Son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus into my heart and I confess him as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for sending your Holy Spirit to help me obey you, and to do your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Congratulations! And welcome to God’s family!
