Meaning of your existence

Romans  1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

Praise the Lord!!

Today we will meditate upon the meaning of your existence.

World is boggled with the existence of humankind.Scientists and researchers are pondering over this age old questions.

1. Who am I
2. Why am I here.
3. What is the purpose of my life.

As a Christian we are supposed to know the answer to these questions. If you are in a dilemma about your existence. Paul gave a beautiful summary of his life in the above verse.

1.Who am I
Paul calls himself a servant of Jesus Christ. A servant in those days was a very terrible thing. When a person buys a servant he becomes his slave and didn't have any rights and had to please the master always.

Paul who was a Pharisee, probably most learned amoungst all the apostles, found it a great honour to be called as a servant to Jesus Christ who laid down his life for all.

As a Christian you are a servant to Jesus Christ. If you deny to become his servant then you are servant to the world as it is written we cannot serve two masters.

2.Why am I here
You are called and chosen in accordance to his plan.
There are 5 offices of Christ.
1. Apostle
2. Prophet
3. Evangelist
4. Pastor
5. Teachers

You are here to do the business for the Kingdom of God. God ordains you to one of these office and expects you to use your talent and give fruit for the kingdom. If you are not using the talent. You will held accountable for that.

3. What is your purpose in life?

1 Corinthians  9:16  For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!  

1 Corinthians  9:17  For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

You have been separated to preach the gospel to the world. There are many people who are unsaved in your family. You have to share the gospel else you will be accountable for their loss. As Christ saved you you have to share the love to them and draw them closer to Christ.

God Bless
