What do you feel is your Purpose in life?

Nice job His son!

We are only here to decide whether or not to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior

Seems to me that is a somewhat selfish motive, because it's all about your own needs.

If all we have to do is accept Jesus, that means you're assuming that he has already accepted you. And for many people, living in habitual sin, that may not be the case. It may be that you'll have to repent of those sins and make a meaningful commitment, and then he will accept you.

The New Testament tells us over and over that we are supposed to be here to serve one another, and help others to get saved. Everything else is details.

Solomon answered best...

Now all has been heard;

here is the conclusion of the matter:

Fear God and keep his commandments,

for this is the whole duty of man.

For God will bring every deed into judgment,

including every hidden thing,

whether it is good or evil. [Ecclesiastes 12:13,14]

It pretty much covers Service, Worship, Praising, Obedience, Trusting, Loving, and so on.

Bless you,

Wayne

I have tried to refine it down a bit but here goes:

1) To be open to the Word Of God

2) To love God and my fellow human beings.

All praise The Ancient Of Days

I have wonderd this almost all of my adult life,then I read The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren. This book will help you to answer those very questions!

Here is what some well known people are saying about this book!

"Make sure you're not missing the point of your life---read this book!The Purpose Driven Life will guide you to greatness______Through living the Great Commandment and the Great Commision." Billy and Franklin Graham

" Disoriented about your direction in life?Are decisions tough to make and steps hard to take? If so, Rick Waren has written a masterpiece of wise counsel for you. Whether you are a seeker, a new believer, or a seasoned saint, let God use these pages to place your feet firmly on the right path!"------Max Lucado

" If you only read one book on what life is all about ----- make it this one! This book is life--- changing. Rick Warren is absolutely brilliant at explaining our real purpose on earth and stating profound truths in simple ways. Give this book to everyone you care about. Believe me,you'll never be the same after reading this! What a gift!"---Lee Strobel___

I took Strobels' advice and gave this book to all of my children for Christmas this year! It has not only changed my life but also how I think! :hug:

of course it is about your own needs! LOL If you aren't saved, how can you help spread the Word of God? Do you think just being a good joe sixpack is good enough? I don't! Do you think if you lead a good life, like many atheists, that you will get into the Kingdom of Heaven? Sorry, it won't!

If all we have to do is accept Jesus, that means you're assuming that he has already accepted you. And for many people, living in habitual sin, that may not be the case. It may be that you'll have to repent of those sins and make a meaningful commitment, and then he will accept you.

Christ hears all who call His name! Have you forgotten this? Are ;you saying people are born already damned? I don't believe that. If you have heard of the Word of God through Jesus Christ, it is your decision to accept this or deny it and you will be judged accordingly...

and over that we are supposed to be here to serve one another, and help others to get saved. Everything else is details.

How can you help others to be saved if your not saved first? Hmmm?
