1 Peter 4:1-2 “Therefore, since Christ has
suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also
with the same purpose, because he who has
suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh
no longer for the lusts of men, but for the
will of God.”
Isaiah 48:6-10 “Remember the former things
long past, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things which have
not been done, saying, ‘My purpose will be
established, and I will accomplish all My
good pleasure’
For what reason were we created?
What was God’s purpose in our design? Why do we exist?
We were created for His glory.
We exist by His good pleasure to exhibit
all the glories of His supreme excellence.
