Re: Purpose Of Being Christian
Have you ever thought about why we are here? I mean, the question about the mystery of life? I use to wonder about it. Then I read where God told the first humand to multiply and replenish the earth. The purpose of humanity is to begat humanity.
This may be simplelistic, I have been known to be a little simple, but, the answer to the question put forth is too complex for me. What is the purpose of being a Chiristian? Simply put, to multiply and replenish the earth with God's People. Think about it. In Noahs day, the earth was full of evil. The earth was destroyed. Afterward the earth was filled again with people and again- with evil. But, then, with the coming of Jesus, a plan was put forth that would fill the earth with people- God's people through the New Birth. Thats why Jesus told us so many times, and in different words to "Go ye and Preach the Gospel to every creature..." Thats why its so important for us to win souls for His Kingdom. The purpose of being a Christian, in my simple opinion, is to multiply, not in the sense of the flesh, but through the New Birth, and to REPLENISH the earth with people God intended- people made in His image.
