Our Purpose Driven Life(English Version)

CHAPTER 37 5:35pm - 8:33pm

     We are born to spread the good news of God. We became a believer when are becoming messenger of God. And we thought we cannot share any good news of God, that is untrue because demons are just stopping us to do good things.

     There are 4 ways for the deliverance of the good news, first is our testimony on how God is changing us, second is to teach what we have recieve, those lessons that God thought us, third passion to be like Christ, those circumstances in our lives that have shaped us from the power of God that we protected. And the fourth one is good news, the message of our deliverance from sins.(6:10pm)

I will go to church first to attend mass will continue later...

(7:15pm)

     What the books says is we should spread our own story from how God change our lives. For example you are on the judge court and you are the witness, and what you should do is you will give witness on what you saw, and not saving the innocent or the convicted, because that's the job of the attorney. We are like that, Jesus Christ is calling us to be witness for God miracle changing our lives, because yes we are not a bible scholar, but we are the only one who have knowledge on our experience besides God. We are the owner of our experience, and those who will not believe will more believe in our life story than in the bible, because some will say that they do not believe it because they did not saw the person who wrote the story on the bible, but because you are a living witness for the true change then you can convince them more. And it is more convincing because you are the one who have experience and it truly happened. That's why paul, he uses his own experience, then after that he will the bible.

     The second one is the lessons that we have learned from our experience, can be in relation, spouse, work, we will share to our fellow, but the israelites they have given many warnings, taught the true right, but they are still repeating doing sins, until those sins that they've done had killed them. And it can be that we already have experience a person who is like that, we should share the lessons that we have learned, and listen to what our fellows lessons. Because the lessons that they have experience will be our provision, so that when we experience the same situation, we can solve it more easily. And rick warren is exhorting us to write down the lessons that we have learned so that we will not forget it, and we should share what we have learn for if not, those will be lost forever.

     The third is our passion, it can be from a strong desire, problems, wants, in groups or many more. If you want something you will never be silent, you will have a courage to say and do something for a change. Can be that God gave you challenge for you to use it, so that many people will be a believer, or can be that you will help for the Church needs, can be that you will give lessons to your co worker, and if you ask from God, He will send you to countries that many should be believer to God. And you should not force to others your passion. For example the task that was gave to you is to teach and you force others to do that too, that is wrong. We should listen to what they desire and not underestimate it. Because we are born to be helpful and no one can do everything.

     The forth is good news, that means that we recieve Jesus as our messiah, because of the grace of God to us, and because of that we are already save from our sins, and we have reasons to live, and in the future God promise us to live in Heaven.

     We should love all the children of God, because all God's creation is His, and all His children are important, that's why we should love them, because if we experience difficulties on loving them, we should pray to God that He will give us a loving heart so we can love them.

     And when you have no energy to do your mission, think about Jesus Christ when He was crucified, that's how Jesus Christ love us, and when you know someone is still not changing, you must pray them to God every time. Helping them thru your love and care to them until they will change. And if someone is still not changing, the Church should also do an action, because if they will not do anything, it is the same as telling them that they will go to hell. And we should do everything for them to change, like asking them to join you attend mass in the Church, give him food, pray for them. Many things can be done and you must not waste the time that God gave to you. And it's so overwhelming that when it's your turn to go to heaven, many people will thank you, because you are the reason why they went to heaven.

     The everlasting saving us from sins will not be lost forever compare to other things in the world, because human is the only one who will live forever.

    In this book we learn the five purpose or reasons, first is to become member of the Family of God, be an example of His character or attitude, magnifier or you will be the one to make God happy, become ministry of His grace and be His messenger. To five lessons that we have learn the fifth one is the one we will use on earth and the remaining is the one we will use to serve God in the Paradise.
