Who I Am

The Bible tells us that we are created for the purposes of God. We have been saved in order that the balance of our lives might be spent being used by Him to reach a lost world with the Gospel of Christ. That purpose is never suspended or retracted. As long as we draw breath, God wants us to lead people to His Son.

The Bible also has some things to tell us about the fact that when we are saved, there some things that happen to us. First, we receive the Holy Spirit and are “born again” not of natural processes, or the will of someone else, but born of God! In this we are given the right to be called “children of God.” (John 1:10-13)

It also says that we have been given an opportunity to be an ambassador for the Kingdom of God. The ambassador is the representative of a certain country to a foreign entity. That is what God has called us to be…ambassadors for Christ. We share that which our king wants the country in which we live to know about.

And finally, God calls us to be His ministers…ministers of reconciliation. We are to tell people that God desires a relationship with them. And we are examples of that relationship in action. We are the illustration. We are the object lesson. We are the tool that God will use to show an unbelieving and unholy world just Who He is! (2 Corinthians 5:11-21)

And so live as you are, and don’t take a second place job. God’s calling on you is sure, and so is your ability to fulfill the call when you keep your eyes on Jesus! He will never leave you or forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5)
