Soul Purpose /Why am I Here?

This week I will attempt to address the question that at one time or another man asks himself. " Why am I here"? Through out our lives we experience many different things, some good and some bad. Others strange or hurtful. Many we accept and embrace, others we wrestle with without understanding, often asking why? What did I do for this to happen to me ? Believe it or not, there is a purpose for us being here and all that we go through. Let me elaborate.

In the beginning God created the heavens and earth with all the living creatures and said "It is Good". He then created man from the dust of the ground and blew the breath of life into him . And man became a living soul. Was this an act of God so he could try and torment man ? No, to the contrary. It was the beginning of an awesome plan. God first made the decision to create man in his image, after his likeness created he him, male and female created he them. (Read Gen. 1:26-27, 2:7, 9:6) So now this living soul had to have purpose. What was and is that purpose? The answer to this question is obvious to those of spiritual knowledge. God created man to be conformed to his image, to become sons of God. (Read Rom. 8:28-30)

There is a difference between the sons of God and the sons of mortal man. They each serve different masters. (Read Gen. 6:2 ) One of the flesh and one of the spirit. The spirit man seeks to do the will of God and the fleshly man seeks to do the will of Satan.

Adam was created in God's image, until sin entered into him and separated him from God. He was driven out of paradise to fend for himself. (To be continued next week) (Read Gen. 3:1-23, Rom. 7:14-25)

So until next week, may God bless each and everyone and that you be transformed by the spirit to the renewing of your mind and accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
Amen
