Colossians 1:28 New International Version (NIV)
28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom,so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.
Have you ever been asked the question, “What is your purpose?” I think all men ask that question. They want a purpose in their life. I have found that men who do not have purpose will die spiritually and physically.
Men who have purpose know the Biblical call of manhood. They reject passivity, accept responsibility, and lead courageously. You might be thinking that this is a tall order. It is, but a man who knows who he is in Christ leads with purpose.
Let’s look at what it means to have purpose spiritually. I believe being in a men’s small group is essential. You build relationships with other men and this helps enhance your relationship with Christ. You pray together and read God’s Word. This will enhance you to be a stronger man, husband, and father. It will strengthen your family, and it will build your faith.
A man who has physical purpose is in the game. No matter whether you are young or older, being physical and active keeps you strong and healthy.
Our purpose, men, is to glorify our Lord. From your completeness in Christ will come your purpose. Today, I want you to look at your purpose in life. Are you just existing? Are you stepping into purpose?
Stepping into purpose perfects your relationship with Christ.
Strength and Courage
Michael
