As youths, the first thing we need to understand is the meaning and essence of purpose in life. Every inventor, designer, builder, manufacturer creates or makes what they make for a purpose, for example Satoshi Nakamoto invented cryptocurrency. Purpose defines the essence of a thing, both animate and inanimate things have a purpose for their creation. The Bible makes it clear that God is the Creator of the entire universe. So, everything in this life both visible and invisible surrounds the purpose of God. As human beings, we are also creations of God. As a born again Christian, you were chosen and called by God for a purpose.
Please be reminded that you did not choose God, it was God that chose you. God called you into Christianity for a purpose. Your acceptance of Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Savior is not a random incident, it was ordained by God. God already knew you before you were conceived by your biological mother and God chose you and created you for a purpose in His Kingdom. As a Christian, God's purpose for your life is to serve Him in Christ thereby bringing glory to His name. It is also important to understand the connection or relationship between purpose and calling.
Both words were mentioned. "Calling” is according to the "purpose" of God. In summary, your purpose is to serve God and glorify His name while your calling is your specific assignment in the body of Christ. As Christians, we should always remind ourselves that God Almighty alone Has the master plan. As individuals, we are just ordinary little little ideas in the ultimate plan of God.
God's ultimate plan is for a Christian universe where everyone will be united in Christ, united in love, for God is love, united in righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. So God has called us for specific assignments in the body of Christ to fulfil His purpose of uniting us all in Christ.
So, as a born again Christian, note that from the moment you gave your life to Christ, God gave you a calling which is a specific assignment in the body of Christ which is according to His purpose of uniting all into the body of Christ. The moment you surrendered your life to Christ by becoming a born again Christian, God marked you and sealed you with the Holy Spirit to help you to identify your calling and purpose in Christ.
Please note that only the Holy Spirit can reveal your calling and purpose in Christ to you. If you are yet to discover your calling and purpose in Christ, engage the Holy Spirit to help you to search and locate your calling and purpose in Christ. Remember that only the Holy Spirit can reveal your calling and purpose to you and the Holy Spirit is holy by nature and cannot dwell in a vessel that is unholy.
As a youth, to optimise your purpose in Christ;
Ensure that the Holy Spirit dwells in you by doing away with any unholy things and thoughts.
Meditate and immerse yourself in the word of God as the word of God and the Spirit of God always go together.
Note from the above scripture that the flesh profits nothing. The sensual pleasure of the world may look enticing initially, but it will derail you from God's purpose, so it's never God's plan for you to live by the flesh.
But godliness with contentment is great gain. Truly, you may be godly but are you contented? Are you contented with what God has placed in your hands? Due to the failure of values in the society, most youths are now in such a hurry and end messing up their purpose in life. This is something that is rampant among many of the current generation of youths. That will not be your portion as youths.
