Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers; And those whom He predestinated, these He also called; and those whom He called, these He also justified; and those whom He justified, these He also glorified. Rom. 8:29–30

Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will. Eph. 1:4–5

God has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to His own purpose.

We have been called by God for His purpose, and this purpose of God is the meaning of the universe and the meaning of our human life.

God’s purpose is to dispense Himself into us so that we may be His corporate expression. Amen, His purpose must become our purpose!

Lord Jesus, may we see the purpose of God and live a life for God’s purpose today! May our life contribute to the fulfillment of God’s purpose. Amen, Lord Jesus, save us from living a human life without meaning and purpose!
