“There is a fundamental, life-transforming truth that we cannot miss as Christ followers: We were created to impact all nations for the glory of Christ. The testimony of Scripture from Genesis to Revelations is that we were created to enjoy God’s grace in relationship to Him, so that we may extend His glory to the ends of the earth. Matthew 28:19 commands and commissions us to ‘go and make disciples of all nations…”.
Let’s embrace the radical purpose of God for our lives. Let’s wake up as God’s people to see His great glory and to see the nations’ great need. Let’s each spend our lives for the sake of God’s glory among all nations. You were created to impact the world for the glory of Christ.
Sadly, we have often disconnected the blessings of God from the purpose of God. This has resulted in a self-centered distortion of Biblical Christianity where we know the first part of Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God”, but fail to follow with the second part of the verse: “I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in all the earth.” The purpose behind God’s blessing of His people is seen clearly in Psalm 67:1-2 “May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on the earth, your salvation among all nations.”
